I'm not predicting anything now. I'm just saying Houston should be able to wrap this up in 6 considering they have the momentum, the better pitching, and are heading back to their ballpark.
As for what will actually happen, I don't have a clue.
As for JV, he allowed 7 batters to reach base in the first 3 innings, then needed his defense to make a really nice play to prevent him from getting into huge trouble in the 4th.

I know about your prediction and that’s why I told you it was an overreaction to one game. And honestly I still don’t know what you are referring to in the 4th. A weak chopper and two K’s. What was the “huge” trouble, a possible runner on first if Peña makes an error?
Who knows what might have happened but JV pitched an effective game and pitched himself out of trouble. Had they taken him out earlier could well be looking at a different result. So I’ll stand by calling it a beauty, especially under the circumstances.
This series simply couldn’t not be closer than it is though and I don’t see momentum as a huge factor. Phillies starting to get some good swings on Pressley. Valdez is a great pitcher but he can get wild and can lose focus on occasion.
Third time in four years the WS will be won at MMP. Different team each time.
