World Series predictions - Phillies vs Astros
Any predictions for the World Series? I'm a lifelong Phillies fan, but I don't see them beating Houston. I'm thinking Houston in 6, but could be even less. However, I'd be very happy to be wrong.

I think Astros in 6 is right on.

Would like to see the Phillies win, love the working class attitude, but I think their pitching isn't as deep and the Astros defense is top notch.
Hopefully, Dusty can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like he's always done.

Meh, I’m rooting for the umpires. I don’t care for either team.

 drop. No mercy for the tough luck HOF coach.My own preference is Phillies. But I have a 9 yo Houston fan in my home, so if Houston wins I must be happy. However, I was rooting for San Diego. 1998 seems like so long ago. Sent from my SM-G9900 using Tapatalk

I have no interest in either team I am just hoping for the series to go 7 and have some close games and memorable moments.
My Logic (or lack there of ) says Houston in 5

This is the old "Irresistible Force" meets "Immovable Object" scenario.
The Phillies are the Irresistible Force, being the underdog in every series; the Astros are the Immovable Object, having swept each of their series. In fact, each of the five NL playoff series was won by the underdog; the Padres beat the Mets and Dodgers, and the Phillies beat the Cardinals, Braves and Padres. But now they face the Astros, who are undefeated in the postseason. So, who wins? Steve

Like to see the Phillies win but thinking they need to get 1 of the 1`st 2 games. Secondly, please please please put the ball in play. This endless stream of strikeouts is getting tough to watch, even for hardcore baseball fans.

Am I the only guy that's less than impressed with a "combined" no hitter?

I hate them! They point more to the ineptitude of the opposing hitters, as opposed to the dominance of the pitcher(s). Steve

Not as good as a true No-No, but still pretty impressive.

Also, a rare GREAT move by Dusty pulling Javier out of there.
He has to plan for a game 7 Sunday and why burn out Javier. He's gotta start him on short rest over McCullers (who blows). So leaving him in for a shot at a no hitter over the greater good would have been a terrible decision. Dusty just may get one.

I didn't understand why McCullers started game 3 instead of Javier considering how Javier has done in his most recent starts. I'm not sure if he would start a game 7 on short rest since he threw almost 100 pitches (unless it was planned for just a few innings), but I would expect him to be available out of the bullpen for a few innings if needed.

Yeah...to heck with the Trashtros. The only one I'm happy for is Dusty Baker. Could not give a hoot for the rest of 'em, or their obnoxious fan base. Won the World Series again, eh? Big effing deal. They used to be somewhat likeable. Now, rooting for them is like rooting for the Yankees or the Red Sox...
