At first glance, the Astros-Nationals World Series matchup seems like a no-contest.
The Nationals entered the postseason as a wild card with a 93-69 regular-season record that, when compared to the Astros’ 107-55 regular-season record, doesn’t seem to match up.
While it may seem like David versus Goliath, Washington has proven that it means postseason business.
The Road So Far
In the National League Wild Card game, Washington downed Milwaukee in a 4-3 win despite early pitching struggles, moving on to face the Dodgers in the NL Division Series.
