Philadelphia at Houston

Aaron Nola gets the start in Game One for the Phillies and he had two great outings in the postseason before allowing six runs against San Diego. Nola faced the Astros once this season and pitched six scoreless innings on two hits and Houston hitters are a combined 6-for-46 with no home runs against him. Nola had a 3.00 ERA on the road this year and he came on strong in September when he had a 2.93 ERA and .212 opponent batting average with only two homers allowed. The Phillies are one of those teams that are getting hot and clutch hits at the right time and they are getting good line value in this matchup after going 9-2 in the playoffs so far. Houston has lost six of its last eight World Series games overall and the Astros are 1-6 their last seven at home in the World Series. Philadelphia has won five straight following an off day. Take the Phillies.
