Houston Astros vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction & Betting Tips - MLB
by Joseph King | in Baseball Predictions
The Houston Astros can close out the World Series in game six when they host the Philadelphia Phillies at Minute Maid Park. Leading 3-2 after their game five win, the Astros will now have two opportunities to get it done and lift only their second World Series title in franchise history with both games six and seven taking place on home soil. The Phillies, on the other hand, face the monumental task of beating this Astros team twice in a row on the road if they are to win their first World Series title since 2008.

Houston Astros - Philadelphia Phillies: Form Analysis
The game four no-hitter pitched by the Astros really looks to have been a turning point in this series. Houston got a solid outing from Justin Verlander in game five, providing the Astros the platform to eventually win the game thanks to runs scored in the first, fourth and eighth innings. The oddsmakers like the Astros to close this one out here, in large part due to their excellent performance at Minute Maid Park this season. Houston was 55-26 on home soil in the regular season, a significantly better record than the Philadelphia Phillies’ 40-41 away record.

Houston Astros & Philadelphia Phillies Squad Analysis
Taking the mound for the Astros is Framber Valdez, who has had an excellent season and a superb playoff run so far. Valdez was 17-6 in the regular season with a 2.82 ERA and carried that form over into the postseason, going 2-0 and only allowing three total earned runs in his three starts. On the other side, Zach Wheeler will be tasked with keeping the Phillies season alive. The 32-year-old was 12-7 in the regular season with a 2.82 ERA as well but has looked shaky in a few of his playoff outings. Wheeler gave up four earned runs on six hits in the game two loss to the Astros, lasting only five innings in that start.
Houston Astros - Philadelphia Phillies Key Points
- Framber Valdez has pitched brilliantly for the Astros in the playoffs, going 19 innings and only allowing three earned runs while also striking out 24.
- The Phillies have struggled with their strikeouts against lefties this season, as evidenced by Framber Valdez’s nine punchouts in his game two start against them.
- The Astros got a lot of contact against Wheeler in his last start, limiting the righty to just three strikeouts and also forcing three walks.

Our Houston Astros vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
We’re going to back the Houston Astros to close this out and lift the World Series trophy. Houston has been superb all year, especially at home, and should be able to get this done with arguably their ace in Framber Valdez on the mound. The Astros lineup has been excellent at limiting strikeouts this season and should be able to get a few runs off of Wheeler again. The cushion should ultimately prove enough for Valdez and the Astros’ bullpen to preserve and lead Houston to their second title in five seasons.
