Pick on the Total for World Series Game 3 Astros-Phillies

After Monday’s scheduled Game Three of the World Series got rained out, the home-standing Philadelphia Phillies turn to Ranger Suarez to shut down the Houston Astros on Tuesday.

Houston Astros (-125, 7.5) vs. Philadelphia Phillies

Suarez has went five inning ms or less in each of his five pitching appearances since the beginning of the month of October and has struggled at home, posting a 4.18 ERA in Philadelphia compared to a road 3.16 ERA.

The Phillies will look to spot Suarez, who’s last two pitching appearances have been out of the bullpen, some support as they enter Tuesday having scored at least four runs on all five of the home playoff games this season and having scored at least four runs in five of their last six games overall.

Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. will attempt to tame the Phillies bats, as he has allowed three runs or fewer in nine of his 10 starts this season, but has underlying numbers that could indicate regression.

McCullers ERA was 2.27 during the regular season while his fielding independent was 3.49 and in McCullers seven starts in the postseason since 2020, his fielding independent is 4.54 while his ERA is 2.97.

The Astros enter Tuesday’s Game Three having scored at least four runs in seven of their nine playoff games with 15 home runs in that span and will find themselves in a high scoring Game Three.
