Phillies vs. Astros: World Series Game 3 odds, predictions

The Philadelphia Phillies are back home to take on the Houston Astros in Game 3 of the World Series on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park. Game 1 was postponed due to weather. The Phillies won Game One 6-5 in extra innings, but lost Game 2 5-2 in Houston.

Ranger Suarez has been one of the best pitchers for the Phillies in the playoffs. Lance McCullers Jr. has struggled in his two starts in this year's playoffs, but he was better on the road than at home. McCuller had his best season in 2021 with 13-5, 3.16 ERA in 28 starts. He was sidelined for most of this season with a strained flexor tendon in a throwing forearm. He had a better record on road in 2022. The Phillies won the World Series Game 3 against the Astros. They won 4-2. It's a best-of-five series.

The over 7.5 runs scored bet is a good bet on Tipico Sportsbook. The Phillies are averaging seven runs per game at home in the playoffs. They are leading the World Series 2-1 going into Game 4 on Wednesday night.

The Phillies are a small underdog. The over 7.5 runs scored bet is worth -120.
