The Washington Nationals appear to have history on their side in the 2019 World Series.
According to Baseball Reference, teams that won the first two Fall Classic contests on the road are 10-3 in the series, with the 1999 New York Yankees the last team to earn the achievement.
There could be some tempered excitement since three of the last four squads to earn a 2-0 road lead lost, but the Nationals are on an eight-game winning streak and have shown no signs of slowing down.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, Dave Martinez's side handed losses to Gerrit Cole and Justin Verlander, who became the first pair of 20-game winners to lose World Series Games 1 and 2 at home, and the first duo overall since Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax on the 1965 Los Angeles Dodgers, per Stats Inc.
