The 2022 World Series continues to be a roller coaster. After getting stormed in Game 3, the Houston Astros looked like they could be in a tough spot, needing a win against Phillies ace Aaron Nola at Citizens Bank Park to get back into the best-of-7. Not only did the Astros win, but they did it in historic fashion by throwing a combined no-hitter.
Houston’s victory has flipped the odds back in its favor, as the Astros are now -180 favorites to win the World Series ahead of Game 5, which will feature perhaps the biggest pitching mismatch of the series: Justin Verlander vs. Noah Syndergaard (and the Phillies bullpen).
Verlander and the Astros are a -158 road favorite on BetMGM Thursday night. First pitch is scheduled for 8:03 p.m. ET and the game is broadcast on Fox.
Justin Verlander is one of the best pitchers of his generation, and he’s got a ring, but his World Series record is quite peculiar.
