The Nationals battled their way from the wild card berth to the World Series. Now, the Nationals who were able to sweep the Cardinals out of the series will face the Astros who were the best team in the majors this year. The problem is the downtime the Nationals had did allow them to get some rest, but the rest could also be problematic as the players have to get back into the groove of playing baseball.

He has allowed only 4 runs on the season so far. Scherzer has walked a total of 8 batters on the year and struck out 27 batters on the year.

Houston had to battle their way through the Yankees to make the World Series. Granted, the game was a lot harder than what the Astros thought it would be, but the team was one that was able to come into the game and finally brought home the win off of a 9th inning walk off homer. Now, the Astros get to open up their World Series at home.
Gerrit Cole is the pitcher the Astros are planning on putting on the mound in this game. Cole has been able to throw a total of 22.2 innings this year while allowing 10 hits. He has only allowed a single run on the year so far with a total of 8 walks. He has struck out 32 batters and is definitely the pitcher the Astros want opening up this game.

Final Score, Houston Astros win 4-2.
