The Washington Nationals are headed to the 2019 World Series, but the NL champions are still waiting on their opponent.
After an 8-3 victory in Game 4 of the ALCS, though, the Houston Astros are likely to oppose the Nationals. They need one final victory to dispatch the New York Yankees.
The best-of-seven championship series will begin Tuesday at the home of the AL winner. Both the Astros and Yankees earned a better regular-season record, so Washington is guaranteed to not have home-field advantage in the World Series.
Although the matchup isn't decided, the schedule is set and one important topic is beginning to have some clarity.
