In Cristian Javier we trust! He is young indeed, but he’s been great so far for the Astros, especially pitching in not-so-friendly environments as the below stats suggest… Among pitchers with at least 140 innings pitched, Javier just posted the fourth-lowest opponent OPS in a single season since 1920 (live ball era). In that number of innings, Javier has struck out 39 batters. 25-year-old Javier is starting against veteran Aaron Nola in Game 4, just hours from now. Tuesday night gave us one of the most agonized Astros games in recent history as the Phillies’ offense had no mercy against Lance McCullers Jr., hitting five home runs off the righty.

The Phillies will be wise to try and avoid the ones Javier tries to climb the ladder with, but they must do damage when a fastball is in the zone. One can argue that a pitcher of Javier’s magnitude will not be affected by what is happening around him, to which you can simply point at the previous six games played in Philadelphia these playoffs and gesture wildly at them. Javier has never faced the Phillies in his career, so it will be a new experience not just to face the Philadelphia lineup, but to face the Philadelphia atmosphere.

With Javier, obviously (Wednesday) we expect great things out of him.” Of course, that all depends on Cristian Javier and the Astros winning Game 4. Baker never turns to Luis Garcia, Bryan Abreu or anyone else in the Astros’ rested bullpen until it’s too late in this Game 3. Kyle Schwarber and Rhys Hoskins in the fifth inning. Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh in the second inning. But it starts with winning Game 4 by any means necessary. The largely unimposing looking 25-year-old who is a symbol of how good the young Astros on this roster already are in many ways. He ripped off 9 for 13 blitz with five RBI and five runs scored over the last three games of the series. “Javier was one of our best pitchers — if not one of the best pitchers in the Big Leagues — all season. It’s on Javier — and a suddenly slumbering Houston offense — to make sure that never comes into play.

We've reached Game 4 of the World Series, and the Astros will need to secure a win to ensure the series shifts back to Houston.

Nola’s only postseason start that didn’t clear this line came in the offence-suppressing atmosphere of St Louis’ Busch Stadium. He’s also scored in half of those games, giving this line some decent value compared to its implied probability (40.32%). He hasn’t pitched past the sixth inning since before the all-star break. For Javier, the greatest risk is his workload. Javier is only in the 33rd percentile by chase rate, yet he garners a whiff on 30.4% of all swings (82nd percentile). We’ve reached Game 4 of the World Series, and the Astros will need to secure a win to ensure the series shifts back to Houston.
