The Phillies and Astros were separated by 19 wins in the regular season, but they still faced similar paths in getting to the World Series. In Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Round, the Phillies trailed the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 in the top of the ninth inning. The Astros trailed the Seattle Mariners 4-0 and then 7-2 in Game 1 of the ALDS.
The Phillies scored six runs in the top of that ninth inning and prevailed by a 6-3 final score. That sparked the run as Philadelphia has won nine of its 11 postseason games. Houston rallied in the bottom of the ninth on a three-run home run by Yordan Alvarez. The Astros still have yet to lose this postseason and are 7-0 overall.
Now, something must give as these two teams with two combined losses in the postseason face off. One of them must lose four games while the other will be crowned World Series champions.
