Game 1 of the World Series is starting in just a few hours. Will the Astros dominate, or can the Phillies pull one more upset?

In just a few hours Game 1 of the World Series will be underway. This season’s matchup pairs one of the most dominant teams of the last decade against possibly the biggest longshot in the game’s history.
But it’s not quite that simple. While the Houston Astros have cruised to another AL Pennant, going undefeated so far, the Philadelphia Phillies have pulled off three upsets in a row going from the last team to reach the postseason to only four wins away from a world championship.
The experts have already weighed in, with a wide range of predictions:
12 of 14 ESPN experts picked the Astros
Mike Axisa from CBS picked the Phillies in seven
SB Nation’s Mark Schofield picked the Phillies in seven
Three of four Sports Illustrated writers picked the Astros
