Brett Ballantini sits down with Melissa Sage-Bollenbach to break down a Game 1 marked by dual bullpen games by the Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros.

We discuss the merits of an opener, noting Hagen Smith's success in one open in the regular season and plead with Will Venable to let his opener face at least one turn of the Astros lineup.

In the second half, the duo tackles the strengths and weaknesses both teams have in the series, and end with a gut-check take on how Game 1 will play out.
