The Post baseball experts make their predictions for the Phillies-Astros World Series which begins with Game 1 on Friday night in Houston:

Jon Heyman

Kyle Schwarber is hot. Bryce Harper is hotter. They are ready to pull off the upset. Phillies in 7

Dan Martin

The Phillies’ terrific postseason run will be ended by the red-hot Astros, as Dusty Baker wins his first World Series title as manager. Astros in 6

The Astros don’t have many holes, but the Phillies’ momentum won’t be stopped. Make room for a third World Series champion from the NL East in four years. Phillies in 7

Joel Sherman

The depth of pitching, ability to put the ball in play against an improved but still not strong Phillies defense and experience give Houston the edge. Astros in 5

Mike Vaccaro

The Phillies’ magic carpet ride has been inspiring. But the Astros ought to be tired of the NL East preventing them from claiming a dynasty, so the Phillies will pay for the sins of the ’19 Nats and ’21 Braves. Astros in 6
