I think Alex wins giving 8,7, because he won most of his games by running balls.
If it gets down to just a few balls Scott wins that grind out anyway IMO.
If you think Alex would rather give 8-7 than 9-8 you probably don't know much of absolutely anything about One Pocket. Alex can run 9 I assure you lol. I was almost positive Alex was going to win if the played even. Giving Scott 8-7 is gambling. The match wouldn't be as one sided as this last one I guarantee that. Jumpin Joe, who you like with Alex giving up 8-7 I like Alex still but its tough?
