LAD do have home ice advantage, which means that whichever AL team they face, no DH.  Not that either of Hou or NYY relied much on their DH, but still, losing 1 of their bats can't be good.

Would suspect what LAD really want is for the ALCS to go the full 7, that way neither team could set up its pitching rotation, while LAD look good to go with Kershaw in game 1 Tues.

Pretty sure LAD wouldn't mind Hou winning tonight to take the series the full 7....
