The Nationals clinched their berth in the World Series first, sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLCS. Washington outscored the Cardinals 20-6 in the series. The Nationals starting pitching stifled the Cardinals, allowing just four earned runs in 26 2/3 innings, including back-to-back one-hit efforts by Anibal Sanchez and three-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer.
The Astros clinched their berth late Saturday night, beating the New York Yankees in six games of the ALCS. Jose Altuve smacked a walk-off two-run home run in Game 6.
The best starting rotations in their respective league are set to oppose each other in a battle of pitching Goliaths. Houston features the amazing trio of Gerrit Cole, Justin Verlander and Zach Greinke. Meanwhile, the Nationals have Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin alongside Scherzer.
