I think this series is over as this starting pitching matchup benefits the Astros by a significant margin, the Stros are at home, have the better bullpen, and the Stros have all the momentum after back-to-back road wins with a no-hitter thrown in there for good measure. If the Phillies make a comeback in this series it will be remembered for decades, but I just can't get there with Philly. Wheeler has struggled on the bump and is the exact type of pitcher that the Stros excel against. Wheeler relies on strikeouts but facing this patient Houston lineup usually results in a lot of balls put into play and that is not the recipe for success for Wheeler. I think Framber delivers for the Stros has he has all season, including the postseason. Give me the Astros to win the World Series in game 6!
