This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the Phillies on the RUN-LINE.

This has been a back-and-forth series and I expect that trend to continue here.

Then we'll go back to Houston for Game's 6, and 7 if necessary. I can see this series going seven games, with the Astros then bouncing back and taking Game 6 in Houston.

And the reason I like the Phillies here, is that I just don't trust Astros' starter Justin Verlander whatsoever.

He's 0-6 with a 6.07 ERA in eight World Series starts after he failed miserably to hold a five-run lead in Game 1. He's 1-0 with a 7.20 ERA overall so far in the postseason.

Noah Syndergaard is 0-0 with a 1.69 ERA in the playoffs, to go along with a sharp 0.75 WHIP.

I like Syndergaard at home here. This Phillies team won't take this final home opportunity for granted.

Great value though for the extra 1.5 runs of insurace. The play is PHILADELPHIA on the run-line option.

Good luck, NP
