The Astros claimed two of three in Houston in that series. It will surprise nobody that the 106-win Astros are the favorite to win the series. The Phillies were the last team in the playoffs, clinching a wild card berth with a 87-75 record. These two teams met for one series this season, fittingly on the final three days of the regular season. They rolled through the regular season and while the Yankees faltered in their bid for the top seed in the American League, the Astros chugged along and claimed it. Both teams punched their ticket to the Fall Classic on Sunday.

The Houston Astros are heading back to the World Series. Here are 3 reasons they will beat the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Phils should be able to make this a series but in the end, Houston will shine on both sides of the ball and end Philly’s historic run. Don’t get me wrong, these boys are thriving right now and feeding off the epic energy in the city of Philadelphia, but they’re not a match for the Astros. Both of these teams are extremely hot right now and Houston hasn’t even lost a game in the playoffs. Even with the Phillies throwing Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler at the Astros to start the World Series, they’re going to have their work cut out for them. Sure, the Dodgers might’ve had the best record in the big leagues during the regular season, but Houston is truly the strongest team in essentially every area and that’s been evident in these playoffs. Over in the National League, the No.

Houston is 7-0 this postseason, earning its fifth pennant in franchise history and another chance at its second championship.

To the 59-year-old Thomson, it’s not such a surprise his team is in this position. Philadelphia lost to the Yankees in its last trip this far. "And we had ups and downs during the season, just like any other club does. Last season, they lost to Freddie Freeman and the underdog Atlanta Braves in six games. Louis in the wild-card round. So you just got to put yourself in a position to do it." Funny, the Phillies are also the most recent team to beat the Astros. 3, Philadelphia opened the final series of the regular season with a 3-0 win at Houston, with Schwarber homering twice as Aaron Nola outpitched Lance McCullers Jr. Weather won’t be an issue with the retractable roof in Houston.

Well, here's a first: A past League Championship Series matchup is now a World Series matchup. The Astros and Phillies previously met in October way back in ...

Again, though, the Astros just run deeper. The Astros spent all season proving that they remain an elite team in MLB, while the Phillies had a losing record in September/October to back their way into a postseason spot that would not have existed under the previous format. And with their ALCS sweep, the Astros also have their pitching properly aligned, with horses Justin Verlander and Framber Valdez ready for Games 1 and 2. But whereas the Phillies have to get creative with their Game 4 assignment (it was Noah Syndergaard for nine outs in the NLDS and Bailey Falter for just two outs in the NLCS), the Astros have more quality starters than they know what to do with. Avoiding a return to San Diego was huge for the Phillies, because it allows them to roll out both Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler multiple times in this Series on full rest, should it go at least six games. The Astros have been trying to figure out center field ever since George Springer left in free agency. Though he was uncharacteristically quiet in the ALCS, Alvarez drove the Astros to that round with two huge homers against the Mariners in the ALDS. He filled Carlos Correa’s big shoes ably with essentially a league-average offensive output and reliable defense in the regular season, and Houston values the defense and game-calling it gets from its catchers, but Realmuto provides the best caught-stealing percentage in MLB (44.1%), along with an .820 OPS in the regular season and 10 hits and two homers so far this postseason. Back when the Astros were still in the Senior Circuit (they crossed over in 2013). So as Houston and Philadelphia clash in a best-of-seven World Series that begins Friday night at Minute Maid Park, we don’t have any October history between the current concoctions of these clubs to draw on. The Astros and Phillies previously met in October way back in the 1980 NLCS.

And Houston will be better set up with pitching in Game 4, if not Games 3 and 4. The Astros will likely roll with Justin Verlander and Framber Valdez in the ...

The bottom of the Astros' order can be susceptible with Mancini, Maldonado and Chas McCormick. McCullers pitched well in the game against Nola when the Phils clinched a playoff berth. Rookie shortstop Jeremy Pena, the 2-hole hitter behind Jose Altuve, has three doubles and three homers in 33 at-bats this postseason. He had the lowest home run rate in the AL and led the league with 201⅓ innings. 3 starter, but Game 4 will be a bullpen game as it was in the NLCS and NLDS. The only three who have seen him are catchers Martin Maldonado and Christian Vazquez and DH Trey Mancini. At age 39, Verlander had the best season of his career, which is saying a whole lot because he won AL MVP in 2011 with 24 wins and 251 innings pitched. They won 106 games and are 7-0 in the playoffs after sweeping the Mariners and Yankees. Valdez had control issues the first two years of his major-league career but has cut his walk rate nearly in half since 2020. Wheeler would be on normal rest, but it is at least possible the Phils could flip him with Nola to give him an extra day. Some will point to Verlander's 0-6 record and 5.68 ERA in seven World Series starts as an indication that he can't win the big one, but that's nonsense. The Astros will likely roll with Justin Verlander and Framber Valdez in the first two games in Houston Friday and Saturday.

The 2022 Fall Classic pits a juggernaut in Houston against a team in Philadelphia that made this postseason with a berth that didn't exist last year.

Starter Zach Eflin became a part-time ninth-inning guy because he didn’t have enough time to recover from a knee injury to rejoin the rotation late in the year. Little was made when the Phillies shipped one of their best prospects, catcher Logan O’Hoppe, to the Los Angeles Angels for center fielder Brandon Marsh. “It makes a tremendous difference having the depth we have. He’s headed to back-to-back World Series, his third in a 25-year managerial career in which he hasn’t been fully appreciated until the twilight. “The starters make our jobs way easier by not overexposing us, by their ability to go deep into games and keeping games close,” says Stanek. That now includes Washington, where he played perhaps the biggest role in elevating a middling franchise to relevance. If this is it, a title would be one heck of a way to go out. The “Dusty! Meanwhile, NLCS MVP and $330 million man Bryce Harper has been the subject of boos since he was a teenager, simply because … After all, the Philadelphia Phillies gained entry to this postseason thanks to a playoff berth that did not exist a year ago. Thomson, who rightfully had the interim tag removed from his managerial title after the Phillies advanced out of the wild-card round against the St. “They, you know, really love the game.

The Willie Mays World Series Most Valuable Player Award trophy is a wooden pedestal topped by a bronze sculpture of Mays making the iconic catch.
