As you can see from that first tweet, history is not on the side of the Nationals here, and the Astros are also the biggest betting favorite in the World Series since the Red Sox in 2007. As a Yankees fan it hurts to say, but I think the Nationals incredible postseason run ends here in the World Series, as I think the Astros are just too good for the Nats to take them down. Even though the Nationals are the only team in the MLB that can go toe-to-toe with the Astros great starting pitching, I think the Astros offense and bullpen will be too overpowering, and they will win the series fairly easily. So with all that being said, here are my predictions for the World Series:

World Series MVP:

Gerrit Cole (who then signs an enormous contract in free agency)

World Series Result:

Astros in 5
