This is a 6* on HOUSTON

It's come down to the Nationals and the Astros in the World Series. The AL contingent is a massie favorite here, not just for Game 1 but the series in general. They have Gerrit Cole pitching tonight and that gives them a huge edge against any opponent, even the Nationals with Max Scherzer going opposite Cole. Cole is probably going to be the AL Cy Young winner. He checks in with a 23-5 WL record this year, a 2.30 ERA and 0.89 WHIP and has only gotten more impressive with a postseason resume that includes a 0.40 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in three starts. He's allowed 1 run in 22 â…” innings and has 32 strikeouts. The Astros have won the last 16 times Cole has started! Scherzer is great in his own right, but Cole is simply on a different level right now. The Nationals are just 9-11 this season as a road underdog of +125 or more. The Astros are 65-22 at home, outscoring teams by almost two full runs per game, and they are 23-8 priced between -175 and -250. Play on HOUSTON
