Philadelphia Phillies vs Houston Astros Wednesday November 2, 2022, 8:03 PM (EDT)
The Major League Baseball postseason has had so many changes in recent decades, even the past few years, that it’s hard to rate teams era to era. But what the Philadelphia Phillies are accomplishing this fall very well might rank as the best playoff run in the game’s history, considering the expectations.
Of course, it won’t mean much if the Houston Astros can come back to claim the crown, but entering Wednesday’s Game 4 at Philadelphia, the Phillies have the look of world-beaters. Their 7-0 triumph in Game 3 put them ahead 2-1 in the World Series against the heavily favored Astros, and Houston has to figure out a way to win in a raucous Philadelphia environment to get this thing back home.
Let’s check the latest MLB odds, stats, injury reports, and MLB lines for Astros vs Phillies. We’ve plenty of MLB betting odds for you to consider.
The rainout on Halloween gave the Phillies the chance to bump Suarez up to Game 3 and thrust Aaron Nola into Game 4. On paper, that would seem to be a massive development for a team whose back end of the rotation was seemingly not on par with Houston’s. However, Nola has been knocked around in back-to-back outings and workload could be a factor. 125% Sportsbook Sign-Up Bonus - BetUS.
Adding the 21⅔ postseason innings he threw in October, Nola has tossed 226⅔ frames on the season. His previous high for a campaign was 212⅓ innings in 2018 and he’s been well below that each of the last two years.
Kyle Tucker, who took Nola deep twice in Game 1, will be licking his chops.
As for the rest of the Phillies, they continue to follow Bryce Harper’s lead. His two-run homer in the first inning of Game 3 set the tone for the rout and gave him six homers in 14 games this postseason. He also may have had a hand in some of his teammate’s big blasts on Tuesday. 125% Sportsbook Sign-Up Bonus - BetUS.
