"Some guys, their heartbeat stays the same, and Ranger is one of those guys." Either Syndergaard or Kyle Gibson will start Game 5 for the Phils. "It’s part of the game. Noah Syndergaard had been scheduled to start for Philadelphia before the rainout. That’s the reality," Manfred said. "We waited long enough that we can see on the radar what’s coming," baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said. I enjoyed the banter."

McCullers has made two starts in this year’s postseason, one in each round. Historically, the World Series has ended very well for teams that win Game 3 after splitting the first two. Suarez has been used both as a starter and out of the bullpen so far this postseason, with his last start coming in Game 3 of the NLCS versus San Diego.

Monday's rainout in Philadelphia has changed the rest of the schedule for the 2022 World Series.

Phillies' southpaw is a bad matchup against Houston lineup that feasts on left-handed pitching.

If the Astros put up five-plus runs again Tuesday, they’re likely taking a 2-1 World Series lead. The right-hander was saddled with a 3-0 loss, but he allowed just one run and seven baserunners in six innings. Including that outing, McCullers has allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his 10 starts since finally joining Houston’s rotation in mid-August. Going back to the regular-season finale against Philadelphia on Oct.
