![]() If you're betting on Game 4 with an analytical angle, it's hard to pass on Houston in a big spot. Houston has dropped two of the first three games and finds itself in an urgent situation for Wednesday's pivotal game. They won 106 games in the regular season. The Astros have been the better team since the start of April, and it wasn't really close. The Astros chose to not move up Justin Verlander to Game 4 after Monday's rainout. He'll be matched against Christian Javier, who had a 2.54 ERA in the regular season. ![]() Philadelphia goes into Wednesday's crucial game with Aaron Nola on the mound, and they have to feel good about that. Good or bad, that's what happens when you expand the playoffs. But after Tuesday's 7-0 win in Game 3, they're -150 favorites to win the World Series. Philadelphia was 87-75, the 11th-best record of the 12 postseason teams. Like the Atlanta Braves last season, the Phillies weren't great in the regular season but got hot at the right time. The Phillies are a remarkable story, though also one that highlights the randomness of the postseason. ![]() And with all that on the line, the Phillies and Astros are both -110 odds to win Game 4 at BetMGM.
