Game 5 was the riveting, sweating-out-every-pitch madhouse spectacle this World Series had been waiting for, complete with clutch hits, superstars showing out and one of the greatest (and most important) defensive plays in recent World Series history. It all ended with the Astros taking a 3-2 series lead and heading back to Houston with a chance to win the second World Series in their history.

So yeah, Game 6 has plenty going on. It’s a potentially decisive, World Series-clinching game. Here are the biggest storylines.

Justin Verlander earned two trophies and Aaron Judge and Paul Goldschmidt were among the other stars to take top honors as their peers had their say with this year’s Players Choice Awards.

Derek Jeter has been known as Mr. November since his World Series walk-off HR in 2001, but there is an opportunity for a new player to earn the moniker as this year’s Fall Classic stretches further past October.

This year’s World Series has made for an interesting study on whether momentum is a thing that truly exists in baseball after the Phillies sandwiched a five-homer game and a leadoff homer around the Astros tossing the second no-hitter in Fall Classic history.

Voting begins in the sixth inning for the 2022 Willie Mays World Series Most Valuable Playerpresented by Chevrolet.

Will the Astros close it out tonight? Live coverage from Minute Maid Park in Houston begins at 3 p.m. ET and returns following the last out of Game 6.
