Good morning, baseball fans!
I have returned from my travels just in time to enjoy the World Series, which starts tonight and features the visiting Philadelphia Phillies taking on the seemingly unstoppable Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park in Texas.
Taking the mound for the Phillies will be right-hander Aaron Nola, who ended the season with a 3.25 ERA, 2.58 FIP, with 235 strikeouts to 29 walks in 205 innings pitched. So far he is 2-1 this post-season, with his last start against the San Diego Padres in the NLCS being a bit of a disaster, having allowed six runs on seven hits with six strikeouts in four and two thirds innings.
