Game 1 of the 2019 World Series is set to get underway on Tuesday in Houston as the Washington Nationals take on the heavily favored Astros.
Not many people are giving the Washington Nationals much of a chance in this series, but if anyone can match up with the starting rotation and lineup of the Astros, it’s the Nationals.
I’m not trying to discredit the Astros and say the hype surrounding them isn’t deserved, but the Nats have just as good of a starting rotation, and at least in the postseason, they’ve had the better offense.
