Notes about the Experts’ Analysis
- The series between the Phillies and Astros will be one of the most entertaining in recent years due to the offensive capabilities that both teams have displayed during the postseason.
- Philadelphia is in a great moment, but Houston’s pitching was one of the best in the league and the second lowest in home runs hit. This is something very important against a team that depends on its home runs.
- Houston is the best pitching Philadelphia will face this postseason, but they already eliminated the Braves and Padres, two teams with pretty decent pitching staffs.
- The Astros have no shortcomings in any area. Their hitting can deliver at any time and in any way, their rotation is elite, their relievers were among the league’s best, and their defense is unbeatable.
- The offensive trident of Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins and Kyle Schawrber is in its prime and all have proven capable of connecting with the best pitchers in the majors .
