These short series do lend themselves more to an upset than the longer series will. Which is why the Dodgers get knocked, off, and the Astro's might be a bit more vulnerable. A team with more depth, will be able to last thru a longer series, but in a 5 game series you can try some abnormal things.
The Dodgers started Hill over Beuhler in Game 4...than tried using Kershaw in a role that frankly was not suited to him...plus rolled out Kelly for the 10th inning.
Than again it's a team with insane prospect depth...but didn't seem interested in beefing up the bullpen.
