Nationals at Astros 10/29/19 - MLB Playoffs Picks & Predictions

The 2019 World Series will shift to Minute Maid Park on Tuesday night for Game Six between the Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros. The visiting team has won five straight games in this series and Washington lost three straight home games by a 19-3 combined score. On Sunday, the Nationals managed just four hits and struck out 11 times during a 7-1 defeat.

Thirty-one year old righty Stephen Strasburg (18-6 3.32 ERA) will get the nod for the Nationals on Tuesday. Washington has won each of Strasburg’s five postseason appearances and he has allowed six earned runs over 28 innings of work.

The Houston Astros won 60 home games during the regular season and need one victory to capture their second World Series title in the last three years. In Game Five, SP Gerrit Cole allowed just three hits and one run across seven innings to earn the win. Yordano Alvarez, Carlos Correa, and George Springer all went deep for the Astros on the night.

Thirty-six year old righty Justin Verlander (21-6 2.58 ERA) will head to the hill for the Astros in Game Six. Verlander is winless in his last four postseason starts and has given up 14 runs over his last 23 plus frames.
