While it remains to be seen whether Houston or Philadelphia will finish the job in four or five games, H-Town will have to make room for Philly's dirty birds.
Tuesday, October 25, 2022 2:42AMMajor League Baseball has set a 7:03 p.m. CT first pitch for all seven scheduled games of the 2022 World Series between the Astros and the Phillies.A combination of coincidence and rotational scheduling has setup a sports anomaly involving Houston and Philadelphia.
The World Series between the Astros and the Phillies, who both won their respective league pennants over the weekend, is being played during the same week that an NFL Week 9 matchup between the Eagles and the Texans takes place.With Houston holding homefield advantage, the World Series shouldn't set up some type of logistical clashing with Houston .As it stands now, the Astros host the Phillies for Games 1 and 2 on Friday, Oct. 28 and Saturday, Oct. 29. Sunday, Oct.
It's way too early to tell whether a sweep of the series will take place, but if it doesn't, the least amount of games in the championship series is five.If more games are needed, the two teams would have to travel back to Houston on Thursday, Nov. 3, which is the same day that the Philadelphia Eagles face the Texans at NRG Stadium. World Series Games 6 and 7, if needed, are Friday, Nov. 4 and Saturday, Nov. 5.
