October. Postseason baseball. Halloween. You know, the finer things in life. Game 1 of the world series is tonight and the 2022 World Series between the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies is set to be a contest for the history books. We’re here to give you an inside preview of the series with stats, clips, betting odds, and how to watch the World Series this year.
AMERICAN LEAGUE RECAP: HOUSTON ASTROS #LevelUp
The Houston Astros started their American League push to the MLB World Series after finishing the season 106-56-0, first in the AL West. Yordan Alvarez (DH) led the team during the regular season in batting after hitting thirty-seven (37) home runs in 135 games. Alvarez hit with an average of.306, On Base Percentage of .406, Slugging .613, and an OPS of 1.019. Christian Javier led the Astros in pitching. He earned 11 wins through 20 starts with an ERA of 2.53. The Astros are on a 9-game win streak, undefeated in the postseason after series wins over the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees. Undefeated going into the World Series, will the Philadelphia Phillies be able to slow down the Astros? Or will Jose Altuve and the Astros’ World Series dominance continue?
NATIONAL LEAGUE RECAP: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES #RingTheBell #RedOctober
The Philadelphia Phillies’ journey to the 2022 World Series has been less dominant and filled with injuries. Losing Bryce Harper at the end of June to a wild pitch from Blake Snell derailed the Phillies, but not enough to keep them out.
