Astros will sweep. Stros are regaled in full war armor and in a rhythm now. Nats have been idle for a week and sitting around drinking beer. All the momentum they built during the division and league series has been squandered. They are soft, and their under belly is exposed to the sharp spears of the Astros.
Anybody who knows anything about baseball knows any team can win it all. Except the Rangers. And other losers. Sheesh.
That said, the last several games have shown the Stros have a propensity for hitting line drives, flies and grounders directly at the opposing players (strangely it seems, when a team starts a game this way, it usually continues until the end, ergo the term about how the ball bounces). Homers were the rare but saving grace exception for the Stros.
Thankfully, in one game the Yanks couldnt catch the grounders and errored up. I doubt the Nats will be so benevolent.
I would recommend they start hitting the ball between or over the Nats. If they dont, they will be in trouble, and that's my take.
This ought to get the expurts spurting.
