Now that the matchup is set, here's what we learned about Houston and Philadelphia in their championship series.

But what if [Brad Hand](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31077/brad-hand) has to face the Alvarez/Bregman/ [Kyle Tucker](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/34967/kyle-tucker) part of the order? [Jose Alvarado](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36063/jose-alvarado) is throwing heat from the left side, and [David Robertson](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/29172/david-robertson) has plenty of postseason experience. Instead, the rest of the Astros have led the way, from [Yuli Gurriel](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36006/yuli-gurriel) to [Alex Bregman](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/34886/alex-bregman) to [Chas McCormick](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40574/chas-mccormick) to [Jeremy Pena](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41273/jeremy-pena) to [Martin Maldonado](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/30289/martin-maldonado). Realmuto](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32177/jt-realmuto) and [Bryce Harper](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/30951/bryce-harper) third looks unless the starter is truly cruising -- Houston has the goods to neutralize Philadelphia's offense similarly to how it did Seattle's and New York's. Oh, one reason to start Nola in Game 2 instead of Game 1: He had a 3.84 ERA in the regular season on four days of rest (14 starts), but 2.79 on five days (13 starts). [Connor Brogdon](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41515/connor-brogdon) had a clutch seven-out effort against the Padres in Game 4 and [Andrew Bellatti](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33811/andrew-bellatti) has pitched well enough in his five appearances and could be a good matchup against Houston's righty-heavy lineup (he allowed a .608 OPS against righties, but .866 to lefties). [Seranthony Dominguez](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/37793/seranthony-dominguez) has allowed just one run in 7 2/3 postseason innings with 15 strikeouts and no walks -- and that one run was in part a result of the wet conditions on Sunday. They follow with [Cristian Javier](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41261/cristian-javier) and [Lance McCullers Jr](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32764/lance-mccullers-jr)., each of whom would be a frontline starter on most teams. As good as their starting pitching is, the sheer amount of relief talent in their bullpen -- from closer [Ryan Pressly](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33072/ryan-pressly) to [Rafael Montero](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32631/rafael-montero) to [Ryne Stanek](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33301/ryne-stanek) to [Bryan Abreu](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41208/bryan-abreu) to [Hector Neris](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32377/hector-neris) to [Hunter Brown](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4717803/hunter-brown) -- makes any lead feel comfortable. [Yordan Alvarez](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36018/yordan-alvarez) and [Jose Altuve](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31662/jose-altuve) would have just one hit apiece, New York would have been ecstatic. [Zack Wheeler](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31267/zack-wheeler), who has a 1.78 ERA in his four starts. [Justin Verlander](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/6341/justin-verlander) and [Framber Valdez](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36581/framber-valdez), both frontline starters, at the top of their rotation.

Baker, in his 25th season as a Major League manager, has led five clubs to the postseason -- the Giants, Cubs, Reds, Nationals and Astros. Yordan Alvarez, following his great start to the playoffs with two homers, including a walk-off in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Mariners, proceeded to go 2-for-19 before a delivering a game-tying single late in ALCS Game 4. And both enter the 2022 World Series without a ring. A few hours later, the Astros [polished off a sweep of the Yankees](https://www.mlb.com/news/astros-win-alcs-2022) with a 6-5 win in the Bronx to reach the World Series for the fourth time in the last six years. But the way Wheeler and Nola have pitched this postseason, aside from Nola’s rough outing in NLCS Game 2, it’s not a big stretch to imagine the Phils stealing two games in Houston. Will he continue to fuel the Phillies’ Cinderella run all the way to a World Series championship? Peña, who’s hitting .303 so far in the playoffs, was named ALCS MVP and appears to be as relaxed as someone who is in his third or fourth postseason, let alone his first. Schwarber will be playing in his second World Series after winning it all with the Cubs in 2016. It helps, of course, that Peña and others have stepped up, but even a club as good as this one will be hard-pressed to win it all with virtually no offensive contributions from Altuve. For Philadelphia, this is unfamiliar territory -- the Phils haven’t played in the World Series in 13 years. Harper has been in the spotlight ever since he made the cover of Sports Illustrated as a 16-year-old phenom. The matchup for the 118th World Series is set.

Houston is 7-0 this postseason, earning its fifth pennant in franchise history and another chance at its second championship.

To the 59-year-old Thomson, it’s not such a surprise his team is in this position. Philadelphia lost to the Yankees in its last trip this far. "And we had ups and downs during the season, just like any other club does. Last season, they lost to Freddie Freeman and the underdog Atlanta Braves in six games. Louis in the wild-card round. So you just got to put yourself in a position to do it." Funny, the Phillies are also the most recent team to beat the Astros. 3, Philadelphia opened the final series of the regular season with a 3-0 win at Houston, with Schwarber homering twice as Aaron Nola outpitched Lance McCullers Jr. Weather won’t be an issue with the retractable roof in Houston. Plus a good piece of the past — remember, these teams have played each other nearly 600 times. Realmuto and Zack Wheeler, stepping onto baseball’s biggest platform for the first time. A fired-up Harper and All-Stars J.T.

The Houston Astros are heading back to the World Series. Here are 3 reasons they will beat the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Phils should be able to make this a series but in the end, Houston will shine on both sides of the ball and end Philly’s historic run. Don’t get me wrong, these boys are thriving right now and feeding off the epic energy in the city of Philadelphia, but they’re not a match for the Astros. Both of these teams are extremely hot right now and Houston hasn’t even lost a game in the playoffs. Even with the Phillies throwing Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler at the Astros to start the World Series, they’re going to have their work cut out for them. Sure, the Dodgers might’ve had the best record in the big leagues during the regular season, but Houston is truly the strongest team in essentially every area and that’s been evident in these playoffs. Over in the National League, the No.
