The 2022 World Series is underway and has brought nothing but excitement for baseball fans so far. After a Game 1 win by the Philadelphia Phillies, the Houston Astros tied the series thanks to a 5-2 victory in Game 2 on Saturday night. Pitcher Framber Valdez logged 9 strikeouts over 6.1 innings.

This marks the third straight playoff series in which Philly has won Game 1 and lost Game 2. The Phillies now return home to Citizens Bank Park in Game 3 with a raucous crowd set to support them. Can they regain momentum on Monday night or will the Astros take back home-field advantage?

Astros vs Phillies Prediction & Pick

The Astros leaned on their experience and saw veteran players like Bregman and Jose Altuve step up at the plate in Game 2. They'll have to hope that success can carry over on the road. Lance McCullers Jr. is set to take the mound after allowing only 3 runs over 11.0 innings (2 starts) this postseason.

McCullers has only faced the Phillies once in his career, which was when he gave up 1 run over 6.0 innings in a 3-0 loss back on October 3. These hitters were able to get a feel for him and now get to play with their fans cheering. Philly is also 9-2 straight up in its last 11 home games against Houston.

This is a toss-up game, so I'll side with the team that is 5-0 at home this postseason.

Final Score Prediction: Astros: 4 | Phillies: 5

Astros vs Phillies Probable Starting Pitchers

The Houston Astro will look to Lance McCullers Jr. (4-2, 2.27 ERA) in Game 3 and the Philadelphia Phillies hand the ball to Ranger Suarez (10-7, 3.65 ERA).
