MLB | Philadelphia 6 @ Houston 5 | 10/29 | 12:03 AM UTC
Philadelphia +143
WIN
ANALYSIS: The Astros have won nine straight, a streak that started in the last two games of the regular season against the Phillies. The Phillies won the first game of that series. Justin Verlander won the second game, 10-0, to start the streak. But the Phillies' hot bats make a great argument. The Phillies stole Game 1 of the NLDS at Atlanta and Zack Wheeler beat the Padres 2-0 in Game 1 of the NLCS at San Diego. Take the Phillies to win Game 1 at Houston.
