The Dodgers make some tweaks and the Astros keep things the same.

It’s Game 5, and somebody will take the lead in the World Series by the time the game is over. That’s just the way numbers work. This is also the last game in Houston, so the Astros will be looking for a win before having to go back to LA for a final game (or two).

The Dodgers switched things up a bit from previous nights, with the top of the lineup the same but Kiké Hernandez moved up a few spots and Austin Barnes in the starting lineup as well.

Chris Taylor, CF
Corey Seager, SS
Justin Turner, DH
Kiké Hernandez, LF
Cody Bellinger, 1B
Logan Forsythe, 3B
Yasiel Puig, RF
Austin Barnes, C
Charlie Culberson, 2B

Clayton Kershaw, P

The Astros kept things exactly the same.

George Springer, CF
Alex Bregman, 3B
Jose Altuve, 2B
Carlos Correa, SS
Yuli Gurriel, 1B
Josh Reddick, RF
Evan Gattis, DH
Marwin Gonzalez, LF
Brian McCann, C

Dallas Keuchel, P

The 2-2 series tie is being broken tonight, and one of these lineups is going to tilt that their team’s way.


How short is Jose Altuve, really? A very serious investigation
