Philadelphia Phillies (98-78) vs Houston Astros (114-58)

I can understand why many are on the Houston Astros here. Cristian Javier has been great through 6.2 postseason innings, Aaron Nola has been rocked in his last 2 starts and this is pretty much a must win for the Astros down 1-2 in the series. However, there's just something in the air in Philly right now, and it's a city I'm not trying to bet against. Javier hasn't pitched since October 22 so who knows about potential rust. Nola was also one of the best pitchers in the NL this season, which includes a .211 allowed batting average at home. I'll expect a bounce back performance. The Phillies have won 15 of their last 21 games overall, 20 of their last 25 home games, and now 6 of their last 8 games as an underdog. We're riding with the Phillies again.
