World Series Game 1 open thread

After almost seven months of baseball and the steady elimination of 28 other teams, the World Series has finally arrived. The hot-all-year Astros and the hot-since-Memorial Day Nationals will square off over the next week or so to settle who takes home the hardware for the 2019 season.

It should be a good matchup and one that will hopefully produce some exciting baseball. The Astros have some of the best-known established stars in baseball, like Jose Altuve and Justin Verlander, among others. The Nationals are not without such players, including Max Scherzer and Anthony Rendon. They’ve also got exciting young players like Juan Soto and Victor Robles.
