Wednesday on Undisputed, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe talk about a new PFF study that found Deshaun Watson to be the most clutch QB in the 2019 regular season and playoffs. Bayless proclaims that if not for Watson's ability to perform in the clutch, Bill O'Brien would have already been fired. Bayless goes on to argue with Sharpe, proclaiming that Watson was more clutch than any QB in 2019, and PFF's numbers back it up. The PFF study included single score games in both the regular and postseason which only included stats posted in the 4th quarter and overtime. Nobody had a bigger sample size than Watson, and he posted a stat line of 66 for 88, 909 yards, 8 TDs and 1 interception. Check out the video to learn more.

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.

Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.

The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.

Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.

Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.

Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.

Yordan Alvarez had two hits for the Astros, who remained three games ahead of Seattle for first place in the AL West.
