Philadelphia Phillies - Houston Astros: Form Analysis
The game one defeat was Houston’s first loss of their current postseason run, putting them at 8-1 overall in the 2022 playoffs. This will not be an easy matchup for the Phillies who are coming up against one of baseball's most consistent teams regardless of what venue they are playing at. Houston was 51-30 as the visiting team in the regular season, not far behind their 55-26 home record. On the other side, the Phillies will be hoping their home field advantage can play a major role as they can potentially close out the series if they are able to protect their home field. Philly was 47-34 on home soil in the regular season which was a significantly better record than their 40-41 away record.

Philadelphia Phillies & Houston Astros Squad Analysis
Taking the mound for the Astros is Lance McCullers Jr. with the 29-year-old looking to carry over the form which saw him finish the regular season with a 4-2 record and a 2.27 ERA. McCullers has been solid in his two postseason starts so far this year, pitching a six inning, two hit, zero earned run gem against the Mariners before following up with a less than stellar outing against the Yankees where he went five innings and gave up three earned runs. For home side Phillies, Noah Syndergaard is listed as the starting pitcher although the big righty has been used more as reliever or a short-term starter, rarely going deep into games when he begins the game on the mound.
Philadelphia Phillies - Houston Astros Key Points
- Noah Syndergaard has struggled this season, allowing a 3.94 ERA through his 25 games this season. His last outing against Houston saw him give up three earned runs and four walks in just four innings of work.
- The Astros have the fourth-lowest strikeout rate in baseball over the last 30 days against right-handed pitchers.
- The Astros have one of the hardest hitting lineups in the league, ranking fourth in isolated power in the 2022 season and sixth against right-handed pitchers.
- The Phillies are no slouches when it comes to power numbers as well, ranking fifth in team isolated power against righties and sixth in team iso overall.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Houston Astros Prediction
We’re going to back over 8 runs to be scored as our bet for this game. Both pitchers come into this game with some question marks hanging over them. These are also two of the best power hitting teams in the league facing off so we should certainly see more than a few runs being scored with a few home runs as well. This is the highest total that has been on the board so far in this series and there is a good reason for it. Take the hint from the oddsmakers and back this to be an exciting, high-scoring game three encounter.
