What are the Houston Astros chances of taking home the World Series title

With Lance McCullers Jr. and Cristian Javier tabbed for the next two games, the Astros are hoping to earn two wins before giving the ball to their ace, , for Game 5. Championship Series - Houston Astros vs. New York Yankees - Game 3. Should that be the case, they will be able to close out the series on enemy turf and forget about the stunning Game 1 collapse at home. After they were able to win Game 2 and tie this World Series, they have a 65% chance of winning the overall series, . Houston entered as overwhelming favorites. Historically, there has only been one matchup between two teams in the World Series with a larger win disparity. In 1906, the 116-win Chicago Cubs entered against the 93-win Chicago White Sox. Now, it's the 106-win Astros against the 87-win Phillies. Clearly, Houston is a significantly better team, and splitting two games in Houston doesn't serve to change the expected outcome by much. However, heavily favored teams are not always victorious. Even last year, Houston entered as heavy favorites over a 88-win Atlanta Braves team and lost. Stealing a game on the road is part of the blueprint of stealing a series over a better team, and the Phillies seem to be on track. They've had an improbable run to the World Series. They may still be heavy underdogs, but that improbable run could still end in baseball immortality. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
