2022 World Series: Astros vs. Phillies Game 5, Thursday 11/3, 7:03 CT

Tonight’s pitching matchup: Noah Syndergaard vs. Justin Verlander.

What year is this? 2016? 2018?

Fun Series facts:

• The World Series is not only even-up in games, the teams are also even in runs scored with 15.
• The Phillies have outhomered the Astros, though, 6-3.
• Houston pitchers have allowed 22 hits and struck out 47, while Philadelphia pitchers have given up 32 hits and struck out 36.
• The “Snitker” you see in the photo above is Houston hitting coach Troy Snitker, son of Braves manager Brian Snitker.
