How to Watch Houston Astros vs. Phillies World Series Game 3: TV Channel, Streaming Links
In this story:
In a stellar Game 2 effort, the Houston Astros managed to tie the World Series up at one win a piece. Thanks in no small part to Framber Valdez and José Altuve, Houston won't have to face the horrors of Citizens Bank Park down 2-0.
The Philadelphia Phillies are undefeated at home in the postseason thus far. Their record rests at 5-0 with two wins coming against the Atlanta Braves in the National League Division Series and three coming against the San Diego Padres in the National League Championship Series.
The Astros will hand Lance McCullers Jr. the ball Monday night, going up against Phillies' starter Noah Syndergaard, in his first World Series start since Game 7 in 2017 at Dodger Stadium.
In his final start of the season, McCullers faced the Phillies for six-strong innings, striking out five with only one walk. The only offense Philadelphia could muster was a lead-off home run from Kyle Schwarber en route to clinching the sixth Wild Card spot.
Syndergaard faced the Astros twice in 2022 for 9.1 innings total, allowing three runs, walking six and striking out four.
Since his Tommy John surgery, Syndergaard has lost serious velocity and has begun pitching to contact instead of for strikeouts, but his transition has mostly been a successful one. In 2022, he had a 3.94 ERA in 134.2 innings, his best season since 2018.
