In what would have been a huge surprise in May 2019, the 2019 Washington Nationals will be representing the National League in the 2019 World Series next week.
After a terrible 19-31 start to the season, the Nationals were able to sneak into the 1st NL Wild Card spot and continue winning all the way to the World Series as in the last three weeks, the Nationals have eliminated the Philadelphia Phillies, Cleveland Indians, Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Dodgers, and St. Louis Cardinals from advancing into the playoffs or further into the playoffs.
After seeing some people compare the 2019 Nationals to the 2007 Colorado Rockies, including Rockies broadcaster Ryan Spilborghs on Twitter, who was on the 2007 Rockies, we decided to take a further look into the two teams.
