This World Series has been like a heavyweight title fight. Each team has taken their opponent’s best shot and countered with one of their own. After splitting the first two games, the Phillies took control of the series in Game 3 as they bashed multiple homers.
However, the next night would be a complete contrast as Cristian Javier and the Astros bullpen would combine for the second no-hitter in World Series history. Houston’s fine pitching would continue as Justin Verlander finally found his postseason footing and delivered a solid performance to give his team a crucial Game 5 victory.
Now that you’re all caught up, the season is hanging in the balance tonight. Houston is just one win away from baseball immortality, although we should not expect the Phillies to go down without a fight.
The pitching matchup is a rematch of Game 2 of this series as Framber Valdez will be up against Zack Wheeler. Valdez took this first meeting in style as he set down nine batters via strikes and allowed just one run. The same cannot be said for Wheeler, as he was hit hard, and unless he makes a drastic adjustment, we may see similar results tonight.
