The Philadelphia Phillies (87-73) take on the Houston Astros (104-56)' Tuesday at Minute Maid Park at 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Phillies vs. Astros odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Phillies lead 1-0
The Phillies are on a 3-game winning streak after a rough ending to September where they lost 5 of their last 6 games. Philadelphia has clinched a playoff spot, but is only 1 game behind the San Diego Padres for the No. 2 wild-card spot in the NL with 2 games remaining.
The Astros have won 5 of their last 8 games and they’ll finish with the best record in the AL. Houston has the No. 1 seed in the AL locked up, so the team may rest some of its starters in the final 2 games of the regular season.
