The Nationals have the starting pitching to compete with either the Yankees or the Astros. I think Houston is deeper in their every day players though. The Nats have been getting a lot of production from the bottom of their line-up. Whether or not that continues we’ll see.
The Astros are definitely the best team but it’s a funny game and sometimes the best team doesn’t win in a short series.
Yup.
I go with the statistical best over the years and generally come out pretty good, but more than that is I enjoy understanding and comparing each teams offense vs. defense strengths/weakness.
Washington seems to have become really good as the season has progressed. Washington also has an edge because they are rested. If this thing goes seven, either team will be challenged because their pitchers will not be as rested as Washington’s.
Nevertheless, I pick Houston over NYY and either one over Washington.
It’s been a fun post season especially on the AL side.
