10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK **MUST PLAY ALERT!**
(MLB) Houston vs. Philadelphia,
Total: 8.00 | -111.00 Under
Result: Push
This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Astros/Phillies.

Game 1 flew well OVER the number (I had the OVER), while Game 2 "pushed" on the total of 7 (I had the UNDER in that one.)

Here in Game 3 and with the shift in venue, I'm expecting a "duel" here finally in the World Series.

These two starters have been hot throughout the playoffs and I expect them to continue that streak of great play here.

Lance McCullers Jr. was 4-2 with a 2.27 ERA in the regular season, and he's 0-0 with a 2.45 ERA in the playoffs. i

The home side counters with Noah Syndergaard, who was 10-10 with a 3.94 ERA in the regular season, and who is 0-0 with a 1.69 ERA in the playoffs: "I feel like I can go for as long as they'll allow me to," Syndergaard said. "Now is the time to empty the tank leaving nothing out."

Expect these two competent starters to battle deep, and for this total to ultimately fall UNDER the number.

Good luck, NP
