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.

I want it to go 7 and include more than one ghost-runnerless extra-inning game and at least three weather postponements...pushing the final way too close to Thanksgiving. That'll learn em.
...that's what I want... what I predict is trashtros in 6.

The Phillies are a streaky team. Cooling off for a few days probably isn't the best scenario. The Astros have lost two of the last three World Series. Having a few days to think about that probably isn't the best scenario.
