It's the moment the MLB universe has been waiting for. It's time for the World Series!

The 2022 World Series will have the Philadelphia Phillies taking on the Houston Astros in a true David vs. Goliath matchup.

The Phillies fought and crawled their way into the postseason, breaking an 11-year playoff drought. They will be rewarded with a date with the Houston Astros, who finished with 19 more regular season wins. Philadelphia will relish the opportunity to play the giant slayer, as this will be the Houston Astros' fourth World Series appearance since 2017.
The storylines for this series are endless. Can Bryce Harper win his first title? Can the Houston Astros win their first championship post-sign-stealing scandal? Will Dusty Baker become the oldest manager to win a World Series?
