The remaining playoff teams are a mix of old and new faces.
The Phillies hadn't been to the postseason since 2011, but they are back after a strong second half of the season. With a power-hitting lineup featuring Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins and J.T. Realmuto, they will never be out of any game.
Houston has won the American League pennant in three of the last five years and reached the American League Championship Series in the other two seasons. With regulars Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman playing well and Yordan Alvarez emerging as a star, the squad entered the Fall Classic as favorites to win the World Series.
