The World Series is tied at two games apiece, with the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies delivering haymakers only. The last two games have seen the Phillies crush Houston under a barrage of home runs, and the Astros respond by twirling a combined no-hitter.
In Game 5, someone will take a crucial 3-2 lead. The Astros will turn to ace Justin Verlander, still seeking the first World Series win of his career. The Phillies are opting to start midseason trade acquisition Noah Syndergaard, likely with a heavy dose of the bullpen.
