The Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros clinched their 2022 World Series appearances and will play in what should be a star-studded matchup.
This Phillies team features former league MVP Bryce Harper while the Astros have pitching legend Justin Verlander.
The Phillies reached the World Series after earlier winning the wild card round. The team had a good-but-not-great 87-75 record during the regular season, while the Astros had a 106-56 record and beat the Mariners and Yankees in the American League playoffs without losing a game.
This Year’s World Series is also guaranteed to have some games in November after a lockout delayed the start of Opening Day this season, a phenomenon that rarely occurs.
The first game of the World Series will be played on Friday, Oct. 28, and as previously stated, at least one game will be played in November. The matchup is a best-of-seven series, meaning that games 5, 6 and 7 will only occur if they are necessary.

World Series tickets are already on sale, and can be purchased at most major ticketing platforms.
Every game of the 2022 World Series will be televised by FOX. For people who don’t have cable, FOX doesn’t offer a direct-to-consumer subscription platform, therefore baseball fans will need to find a streaming subscription that carries the channel.
You can stream the World Series on some streaming services including, but not limited to:
Announcers for the games will be Joe Davis and John Smoltz.
FuboTV
Hulu + Live TV
Sling TV
and YouTubeTV
The Astros are seen as the better team by many as they won nearly 20 more games than the Phillies during the regular season. The oddsmakers also see it that way.
Houston is a -185 favorite over the Phillies (+160), which carries an implied probability of 64.9%, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
