The Phillies Are In The World Series
The Philadelphia Phillies are four wins away from winning the World Series.
The Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 4 games to 1 in the NLCS. Now they are playing what some people consider Major League Baseball’s best team, the Houston Astros who are undefeated in this year’s postseason.
“The Astros led the American League with a 106 victories, reached the AL Championship Series for the sixth straight season and are playing in their fourth Fall Classic in that span. They meet the Phillies, who ended an 10-year postseason drought by grabbing the final spot in the expanded playoffs with 87 wins. The World Series begins Friday in Houston at 8 p.m. ET.”
As a Phillies fan I didn’t expect them to get this far at all. I think most of us believed we could beat the Cardinals but after that we thought we would lose to the Atlanta Braves. I was already looking forward to free agency and trying to get Trea Turner to the team (which will defiantly happen now after this postseason).
I know that some people believe that the Phillies will win this world series after the run they have been on. But me I’m on the hope side. “I hope they are able to win the world series”. Because this Astros team is “different” and has been one of the best teams in the past 5-6 years even after their cheating scandal.
But the one thing the Phillies have is momentum and is the hottest team in all of sports, and in baseball we have seen plenty of times in baseball postseason the hottest team is scariest team. If the Phillies are able to spilt the first two games or even, go 2-0 in Houston and go to Philadelphia it will be a scene like no other.
It will be the Phillies’ toughest challenge this year but I hope and believe they can get it done so I’m going Phillies in 6 Games.
