Summary

After what has felt like a month of no baseball, the World Series is finally here! Today we're previewing the 2022 World Series between the Houston Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies. While we all basically agree that the Astros are better on paper in every category, three out of four of us are picking the Phillies to win it all. Dallas is the only one with the balls to pick the Astros. The Astros, on the other hand, seem to think it's going to be a quick series going no more than four or five games. We're breaking down the pitching matchups for Game 1 and Dallas is putting $50K on Kyle Schwarber hitting a leadoff BOMB, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook. Other topics include Aaron Judge free agency, Roger Maris Jr, the roof being closed for Games 1 and 2, and World Series MVP predictions. We'll see you tomorrow for our Game 1 recap! Enjoy!
