The Phillies are on the cusp of clinching the division title. They've had a hot September, winning their last five games, all at Citizens Bank Park, in a seven-game homestand where they swept the Mets in a four-game series. They continued their momentum on Friday, beating the Royals 8-2.
Although Schwarber didn't homer, he did hit an RBI double in the fourth inning. Bader also hit his 23rd double of the season, and the big hits fell to Harper, with his 26th home run of 2025, and Bryson Stott, who hit his 11th home run of the season. Everything seems to be going well for the Phillies, who are the second betting favorites, behind the Dodgers, to win this World Series.
The Royals have seen their playoff chances diminish after losing five of their last six games. The Royals produced no offense against the Guardians' starters in Cleveland. After being dominated by Buehler on Friday, it's obvious that offense is the weak link in Kansas City.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
Taijuan Walker will return to pitch for the Phillies; the veteran has had three poor starts in his last three, and the Phillies have lost four of their last five outings.
However, betting against an offense as powerful as the Phillies' seems like a terrible idea. The Phillies seem to be getting hotter as the playoffs approach. Ryan Bergert, with a 3.48 ERA, will be the Royals' pitcher on Saturday.
Our prediction for Royals vs Phillies is: Over 9 runs.
