Phillies - ATL will have a let down for two reasons. 1) Teams usually do after an emotional win like they had in Atlanta Monday. Coming back from 4 down and sealing the win with a game ending double play that was almost a HR.
LAD - Lynn is a concern with his tendency to give up HRs but Chase field isn't a HR park (3rd fewest in MLB this year). LAD are just loaded with more talent and Pfaadt is the most likely starter for them to get a hold of at the plate. I don't think they win the series but, I think LAD win today.
Houston - This one is a momentum play. Of the 3 plays, this is the "weakest". I think MIN really had their expectations crushed when Gray lost yesterday. They probably were going into the game thinking, "This is it... We'll go up 2-1 and seal the deal." Nope. Urquidy isn't strong but Astros bats really lit it up yesterday. I like the mo-mentum to carry forward.
