I predict the Phillies will win the World Series in 6. The Phillies are like the 2003 Florida Marlins to me. Both teams fired their manager in late spring, brought in an interim manager not expected to be there beyond the season, they go on this incredible run to the World Series and now the Phillies are 3 wins away from a championship.

Philadelphia has this magic going for them right now and that win last night, coming back from being five runs down has to be deflating to the Houston Astros. I predict Houston will come back tonight to even the Series before it heads back to Philadelphia. Believe me, those Phillies fans will be coming out in full force to taunt the Astros. Expect there to be trash cans being banged along with signs saying "cheaters", "the Houston Asterisks", etc. Not surprising, but those things can play into the psyche of players and get into their heads. They're going to try and rattle the opposition.

I think the Phillies will win 2 out of 3 at home before going back to Houston to win Game 6.
