The World Series is finally upon us as tonight will see the event kick off with Washington Nationals at Houston Astros Game 1. The two teams come into the matchup having experienced very different National League Championship Series (NLCS) and American League Championship Series (ALCS). Despite never having made it to the World Series before, the Nationals had a strong showing in the NLCS, sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 in a very decisive fashion.<\/p>\n

The Astros had a tougher time in the ALCS, with the Yankees haven taken the first game in Houston in embarrassing fashion. The Astros responded with three straight wins. Many thought that the team had it all wrapped up in Game 5 but the Yankees had one last ditch attempt to bring it back (and they almost did) but the Astros ended their hopes in the 9th<\/sup> inning of Game 6. The Astros are favored to take this one, especially with it being in Houston, but what do the stats say?<\/p>\n
