World Series Bracket 2019: Schedule, Odds, Prediction After Nationals Advance

The Washington Nationals finished off a four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals and secured the franchise's first-ever trip to the World Series.

In the first inning of Game 4, Washington raced out to a 7-0 lead. Five players drove in a run, including two apiece from Yan Gomes and Trea Turner. Patrick Corbin allowed four runs in five innings, but the bullpen spun four scoreless frames to give the Nats a 7-4 win.

And now, they wait.

Washington will quickly turn its attention to the American League Championship Series, where the Houston Astros currently hold a 2-1 edge over the New York Yankees.
