Last night's 7-0 victory allowed the Phillies to bounce back from a 5-2 loss in Game 2. Monday's game was postponed due to rain. The Astros were the more dominant team during the regular season and entered the World Series as -185 favorites. They went 95-45 and swept the Mariners and Yankees in the first two rounds of the playoffs. It was a much tougher road for the Philadelphia Phillies who finished third in NL East and had to play on the road against the Cardinals in Wild Card round.

The Astros have struggled against left-handed pitchers during the playoffs. The Phillies scored seven runs last night thanks to five home runs off Lance McCullers Jr. Nola was moved up in the rotation to start the game. Javier will start for the Astros instead of Verlander. He pitched to a 2.54 ERA with an OBA of .170 during this season.

The Under is 7-0-1 in the Astros' last eight games. The total is set at 7.8-8.5.

Cristian Javier had a 2.54 ERA with a 3.16 FIP, a 0.95 WHIP and 184 punchouts this season. He had an excellent regular season and has been brilliant in the postseason. Aaron Nola had the same statistics but he was crushed by the Padres in Game 2 of the NLCS and struggled in World Series.
