After a 3-2 victory in Game 5, the Houston Astros will bring a series lead back to Houston for Game 6 of the 2022 World Series. The Astros will now play in front of a raucous crowd at Minute Maid Park on Saturday with the opportunity to secure their second World Series title.

"ASTROS WIN. ASTROS WIN. ASTROS WIN. FINAL: #Astros 3, Phillies 2" - Houston Astros

This is exactly the scenario that the Astros were hoping for in order to try to remove the cloud of cheating that lingers around the franchise. A win at home would help legitimize the Astros in the eyes of some fans, although others will probably never forget the 2017 sign-stealing scandal that rocked the MLB world.

Game 7, if needed, will also be played in Houston. If Philadelphia is hoping to win its first championship since 2008, it will need to defeat the Astros twice on the road. Even though Houston only needs to win one of its two home games, this Fall Classic has shown us that the postseason is anything but predictable.

According to the book The Great Baseball Road Trip, Minute Maid Park is home to "one of the most iconic features in any MLB Stadium", the train behind the left field fence.

The stadium also has a retractable roof, so anyone hoping to watch the game won't have to worry about a potential postponement.
