World Series 2019: Nationals vs. Astros Early Odds, Schedule and Preview

The 2019 World Series matchup is set with the Washington Nationals set to face the Houston Astros.

Washington will come into the Fall Classic well-rested after sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series. The Nationals' last game was on Oct. 15, giving manager Dave Martinez six days to line up his pitching rotation however he wants.

Houston is back in the World Series for the second time in three years. The American League champions have been tested this postseason, needing all five games to get past the Tampa Bay Rays in the division series and six games to put away the New York Yankees in the championship series.
