I predict that there will not be a World Series parade in NYC! Life is good!
Phillies in 7. The postseason of destiny continues. Harper named WS MVP.
Phillies in 3!! MLB sees the dominance and just decides to cancel the rest of the games!! No need to rub it in!!
Just being honest as a Phillies fan. I do not think the Astros will sweep the Phillies like they did both previous postseason opponents. I also think the Phillies will lose more games in this series than they did in each of their previous series. Despite the fact that I really don't know how to feel about the end result, with the way they have put it together this postseason it's hard for me to simply count out the Phillies in the end. I just hope they lay-off does not stifle the batting momentum. Should be a tough and good series.
As a life long Philly sports fan, I am not getting my hopes up and just enjoying the ride.(Andy Reid and all those NFC championship games did this to me...). 
I think Houston is the better team, but it seems like this is Phils destiny so I am betting they win, hopefully at home so Philly fans can riot
Houston has a deeper staff. Nola and wheeler are aces, but after that Ranger? Noah? Falter? versus Verlander, Valdez, Javier who are all three dealing this postseason, plus McCullers. Only potential issue is they only have 1 lefty on their roster (unless they call someone up). Bullpen though, I like Avarado and Dominguez, it's just getting through Hand or Robertson or Brogdon to get there
Astros D is better, and it's not close
Phils I think have better bats
Phils are hotter right now and Harper is playing out of his mind.
I like phils in 6

Yeah just like it’s time to cancel the NFL season and give the Eagles the Super Bowl Trophy right?
Anything can happen in a short series but Houston has better starting pitching, a superior and more reliable bullpen, better defense and perhaps as good an offense. We’ll see.
Agreed. Anything can happen. Momentum is a hell of a thing though
Phillies in 6. Astros have better pitching, but the Phillies have a superior batting lineup and seem destined.
The Astros are much like Penn State…sentenced to life for prior transgressions.

I’m a National League fan. My heart is with the Phillies. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that the Phillies have an edge in hitting. If those bats continue to stay hot they win the World Series.
The Astro’s are defensively better in the infield and outfield, not even close. I also believe their #3 & #4 pitchers Lance McCullers Jr. and Cristian Javier are slightly better than Ranger Suarez or Noah Syndergaard.

Except that there were no real transgressions with Penn State.Phillies in 6. Astros have better pitching, but the Phillies have a superior batting lineup and seem destined.

Both teams are riding high on momentum... but the phillies more so as they simply aren't as good a team (and I felt way back that they could win 100 as the talent is there)... so this layoff probably hurts them a bit more. The stros are loaded in all categories and they've been there before. Nola is good but Verlander is in another zone. We find a way to bewat him, i think we take this thing.
So as a betting man i have the A's in 5. As a fan... the A's in 7. As a dreamer who buys into the anything can happen adage... Phils in 6. Wheeler over V 3-2. And yeah, Harper wins it with 3 run blast in 8th.

Hell, I'm calling it now. 4 sport sweep this year. Flyers and Sixers round it out.
I will add that the Union (you know, that 5th sport thingy) are only two wins away from winning the league. I'll sign up for a clean sweep of five.
