The Washington Nationals punched their ticket to the 115th edition of the Fall Classic after sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series.
The Nats, who will be making their first World Series appearance in franchise history, await the winner of the American League Championship Series between the Houston Astros and New York Yankees. Houston leads that best-of-seven series three games to one.
The Astros are looking for their second World Series in three years. The Yankees, who have won a league-record 27 World Series, are searching for their first championship since 2009.
