Washington Nationals on brink of history in 2019 World Series

It really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the Washington Nationals are in the 2019 World Series.

After all, they entered the season as the favorites to win the NL East by most experts.

But as well all know, baseball is anything but predictable, and on May 23rd the Nationals found themselves 12 games under .500 and 10 games back in the NL East.

Many were looking to fire manager Dave Martinez, and a once-promising season seemed lost.

As we all know, from that point on the Nationals were one of the best teams in all of baseball finishing the season 74-38 and earning the top spot in the NL Wild Card game where they dispatched of the Milwaukee Brewers.
