If you thought the first two World Series games were exciting, just wait until tonight. For the first time in 13 years, Philadelphia is hosting a World Series game—and it’s on Halloween night, against the villains of baseball, one day after the Eagles defeated the Steelers at home to improve to 7–0. Yeah, it’s going to be nuts.
The Phillies have won all five of their home games this postseason, including their series-clinching wins over the Braves and Padres. Despite the small sample size, home field advantage is certainly a thing at Citizens Bank Park, and it will once again be a factor against the Astros.
