Bernie On The World Series: With The Phillies And Astros, Get Ready For A Wild Ride

The Houston Astros are going to the World Series. They have won 113 games this season and are 7-0 in the postseason. Since the start of the 2017 season, they lead the American League in regular-season victories and have 49 postseason wins.

Bernie predicts that the Phillies and Astros will win the World Series. The Astros have only won one World Championship in their history. They lost to the Braves in last year's World Cup. Their last two World Championships were both marred by cheating scandals. During the wild-card era, teams that won between 83 and 90 games during the regular season have captured six World Cups. Teams that rolled up 100+ victories in the season won five Fall Classics. The Phillies are the third-best team in NL East this season with 87-75 record. Dusty Baker talked about his team's leader Bryce Harper. He also talked to him during their final series.

Philadelphia Phillies won the NL East with a 20-game winning streak. They had 31 players go on the Injured List during the regular season. Only five MLB teams lost more players to the IL than Philadelphia. The 2006 Cardinals won 83 games with injuries, but they went on to win the World Series. The Phillies are playing in the postseason tournament. Their team has 16 homers, a .442 slugging percentage and .749 OPS. With Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Rhys Hopkins, they’ve combined for 13 homers and 28 RBIs so far.

Bernie is excited about the World Series between the Phillies and the Houston Astros. The Astros are on a nine-game winning streak and have won more postseason games than any team in the majors over the last six seasons.
