Sportsbooks are setting the line for Game 1 like it is an automatic win for the Astros, they are a huge -200 favorite. Max Scherzer is starting opposite Gerrit Cole. Cole hasn't lost since July, but laying -200 against Scherzer and this Nats lineup is ridiculous.

Feels like a game the Nats steal late

The problem area for the Nats this year has been their bullpen. So long as they can limit their relief innings, they can win it. But inevitably there will be 2-3 games over the course of 7 where they have to turn to some of their less reliable pitchers. It is a tough series to win for either side, but since Cole is practically unbeatable, the Astros have a bit of an edge.

Astros are now down 0-1, finally lose a Cole start, and have to face Strasburg tomorrow. Pressure is building. It has to be demoralizing for Houston to lose a Cole start, as he is their best, and if the Nats can get to him, they can get to any starter Houston has.
