Houston Astros vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction & Betting Tips - MLB
by Joseph King in Baseball Predictions
Game two of the World Series sees the Houston Astros looking to bounce back after a game one extra inning 6-5 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Minute Maid Park is the venue as the Astros will look to capitalize on their strong home field advantage before the series heads back to Philadelphia for games three, four and five. The Phillies won game one as the underdogs at a price of around 2.40 and come into this game at almost an identical price. The game one loss was the first defeat that Houston has suffered this postseason after previously sweeping the Mariners 3-0 in the ALDS and the Yankees 4-0 in the ALCS.

Houston Astros - Philadelphia Phillies: Form Analysis
It has not been a common occurrence this season for the Astros to lose back to back games at Minute Maid Park as they finished the regular season with a 55-26 record in front of the home fans. The Phillies, meanwhile, have been in red-hot form as well throughout these playoffs but their overall away performance on the season is certainly concerning. Philly finished with a road record below .500 at 40-41 and have the unenviable task of trying to yet again contain this high-powered Astros team.

Houston Astros & Philadelphia Phillies Squad Analysis
Taking the mound for Houston is Framber Valdez with the 28-year-old lefty looking to continue his strong postseason form. Valdez finished the regular season with a 17-6 record and a 2.82 ERA. His first two starts of the postseason have seen him pitch a total of 12 and two-thirds innings with only two earned runs allowed and a total of 15 strikeouts. On the other side is Phillies’ righty Zach Wheeler who had an excellent year finishing with a 12-7 record and a 2.82 ERA as well. Wheeler has been fantastic in his first postseason, totaling 25 innings while allowing just five earned runs and striking out 25 batters.
Houston Astros - Philadelphia Phillies Key Points

Our Houston Astros vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
We’re going to back the Houston Astros to get the win in this one and even the series up at 1-1. Houston was let down by their pitching in the previous game but that facet of their team has been overwhelmingly strong all season overall. They have one of the best bullpens in baseball as well as one of the strongest pitching rotations. The Astros bats should find some success against Wheeler although the Phillies starter has been very solid this season. On the other side, Valdez should put together another stellar outing against a Phillies team that has struggled with their strikeouts against lefties.
