Another tight pitching match up. Both starters had problems early but then settled down. Houston currently rallying.
Strasbourg's first season was incredible and then it's been a collection of injury-shortened seasons. He said when he signed the deal that he wanted to stay in DC but I think Boras knew a pitcher that has been on the IL every year wasn't going to earn as much on the market. But he's had a spectacular year, which means he will opt out. If the Dodgers feel pressure to beef up their staff they will sign him because next year he will be perfect for the Dodger's free agent moves: he will be hurt a lot. He'll fit right in with Hill, Anderson, McCarthy, Kershaw (in the past few years).
