2017 MLB Playoffs: Tuesday prediction and discussion

Good morning everyone and welcome to the Minor League Ball 2017 MLB Playoffs prediction and discussion thread for Tuesday, October 17th, 2017.

Yesterday we predicted that the New York Yankees would defeat the Houston Astros by an 8-6 score. We got the game result and the eight runs right, the Yankees defeating the Stros 8-1. This brings our post-season game prediction record to 13-9 so far.

There are two games today: Sonny Gray against Lance McCullers in the afternoon Yankees/Astros game, followed by Kyle Hendricks for the Chicago Cubs against Yu Darvish and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the nightcap.

I like the Yankees in this game, winning against the Astros 5-2. In the National League I’ll take the Dodgers over the Cubs 4-2.

What say you?
