I think this game is gonna be as good as last years finish. My money would be on Scherzer and the washington nationals on this one. Max is a big time pitcher that is perfect for this type of game. And besides they are on the road so they have to win Grin

. Enjoy the game all!

I'm also on the Nationals for this game 7 both teams look the greatest when they're playing on the road and struggle at home. I don't get how the odds are this close though I was expecting a more favorable odds for the Astros since Scherzer is slightly injured or it's because there's too much money coming on the Nationals' side.

Edit : Those late runs by the Nats sealing the deal for this game.

What a game and what a series! Amazingly all 7 games were won by the away team. Maybe next hear teams want to tank a little to only barely get into the playoffs lol. More money was definately on houston in this one and I thought more would come in on houston too. They are generally a great home team. Gonna lock this thread since the season is now done.

Definitely a great game to end the season, we witnessed history unfolding as for the first time all games were won by the visiting team, Scherzer had problems during all the innings and despite allowing 2 runs he still limited the Astros and then Corbin and Hudson came to close the door and did not allow any more runs, Greinke on the other hand never really struggled until the 7th inning, which was the turning point of this game, and I wonder what would have happened if the manager did not got him out of the game that soon?

Congratulations to the Nationals and their fans, this is a World Series we will never forget.

Ypu look to be right. Wierd thing is the away team won every one of the games so far. Astros definately are sitting good to take the series but anything can happen in 2 games. I really hope washington wins game 6 so we can have a game 7. I always love do or die games. Go nats!

We all got our wish there will be a game 7, to be honest the series so far was not really exciting before game 6, the only close game was game 1 but the rest were very clear wins, but game 6 brought the series back to life, Strasburg pitched almost the whole game, Nationals came back from a 1-2 score with two home runs, the interference call was controversial, then we had a very long review of a play I thought it was impossible to review, and the ejection of manager Martinez added spice to the series, and I can only hope game 7 is as exciting as this game was.

@wheelz1200. Also, everyone might forget that Justin Verlander is only 1 - 3 on the post season hehe.

In any case, I reckon the Nationals might not have lost game 5 if they used Strasburg as Max Scherzer's emergency replacement.

That's actually really good odds to lay on washington. Tonight they go with Strasburg and have a real good chance of winning. If they get to a game 7 it's really anyone's game as 1 game anything can happen. I might have to take a hard look at that might be worth a punt. Odds on houston are terrible considering Strasburg goes tonight against Verlander

Last time they won it was also with Strasburg as much as I want the series to reach game 7 I don't think the Astros would give them another chance I feel they've adapted well after their first 2 losses. Their head to head stats points to the Nats winning since they have a better record on the road. I agree the odds are terrible for the Astros' ML I might take the run line since the winning margin is always by more than 2 runs.

@wheelz1200. There would be a 50% chance of a game 7 only if the Astros and the Nationals were equals, more if the Nationals were stronger. However, the Astros have the best team. Sad

In any case, Max Scherzer had back spasms and did not start game 5. I thought he was relieved before the 4th inning.

@wheelz1200. The Astros almost gave the game to the Nationals when the Astros' manager removed Jose Urquidy for James.

In any case, if the Astros win this game the next game will be the most decisive for this series. Gerrit Cole versus Max Scherzer rematch hehehe!

I predict it will be the Astros on game 6.

I begun the game on the 4th inning expecting a hard rematch for Gerrit Cole and Max Scherzer. I was disappointed to see the Nationals already gave 2 runs and a relief pitcher pitching. Astros on game 6 hehehe!

It might also be a good time to be a contrarian hehehe. The Astros have the players and was the favorite when the world series began.

This game right now appears that the Astros will win 1 in Washington, maybe 2 if drive continues.

It's looking like the Astros would even out the series if the Nats fail to make some runs just like the last game.

After the Astros got their first win on Washington, the odds for the series swung to 55-45 in favor of the Nats. If they tie this series odds would probably go back to where it started(-200~ for Astros and +300 for Nats). I hope Nats win one at home so the series could go to the distance because if they lose here it seems like Astros would close it out.

UPDATED Odds To Win The 2019 World Series

Houston Astros +220
Washington Nationals -275

Looking like the nationals are going to win their first series. To think this team was 12 games under .500 and now on the brink of the world series. Good for them, hope they pull it off. I think they need to wrap it up in washington if they want to win it. If they have to go back to houston the pressure is going to start to mount

Suzuki also broke Justin Verlander and the Astros decided to replace him. The Nationals made 5 more runs after hehehe.

This Nationals' performance on the post season is very exceptional considering that they were a wildcard.

It was impressive to see such debacle after Verlander left and now the Astros have no other choice but to win game 3 otherwise it will be almost impossible to win the world series.

This is shaping up to be an epic world series. The starting pitching is top class. Splitting hairs when picking between Houston's starting 3 or Washington's starting 3. This series will all come down to which team will hit better with RISP. The yankees missed key opportunities and sucked it up with RISP hitting. I'd like to see washington win this WS, sorry Harper Tongue

You were right RISP played a very important role especially during the second game, against such starting pitchers you need to take advantage of every opportunity that it comes and the Astros have been terrible at it, lets see if they take a different approach now the designated hitter rule will not be in effect.

I tend to think the national league benefits from the no dh games. In the american league teams sign players just to be designated hitters and when they play in the national league those power guys either have to sit or the team has to make a defensive sacrifice and put them in the field. Also the national league pitchers are used to batting whereas Houston's pitchers (besides Greinke) will be an automatic out. Tough road ahead for houston
