HOUSTON ASTROS now a overwhelming favorites to win the 2019 World Series

Houston Astros   -900
Washington Nationals   +600

That's actually really good odds to lay on washington.  Tonight they go with Strasburg and have a real good chance of winning.  If they get to a game 7 it's really anyone's game as 1 game anything can happen.  I might have to take a hard look at that might be worth a punt.  Odds on houston are terrible considering Strasburg goes tonight against Verlander

Last time they won it was also with Strasburg as much as I want the series to reach game 7 I don't think the Astros would give them another chance I feel they've adapted well after their first 2 losses. Their head to head stats points to the Nats winning since they have a better record on the road. I agree the odds are terrible for the Astros' ML I might take the run line since the winning margin is always by more than 2 runs.

@wheelz1200. Also, everyone might forget that Justin Verlander is only 1 - 3 on the post season hehe.

In any case, I reckon the Nationals might not have lost game 5 if they used Strasburg as Max Scherzer's emergency replacement.

Ypu look to be right.  Wierd thing is the away team won every one of the games so far.  Astros definately are sitting good to take the series but anything can happen in 2 games.  I really hope washington wins game 6 so we can have a game 7.  I always love do or die games.  Go nats!

We all got our wish there will be a game 7, to be honest the series so far was not really exciting before game 6, the only close game was game 1 but the rest were very clear wins, but game 6 brought the series back to life, Strasburg pitched almost the whole game, Nationals came back from a 1-2 score with two home runs, the interference call was controversial, then we had a very long review of a play I thought it was impossible to review, and the ejection of manager Martinez added spice to the series, and I can only hope game 7 is as exciting as this game was.

I think this game is gonna be as good as last years finish.  My money would be on Scherzer and the washington nationals on this one.  Max is a big time pitcher that is perfect for this type of game.  And besides they are on the road so they have to win  . Enjoy the game all!

I'm also on the Nationals for this game 7 both teams look the greatest when they're playing on the road and struggle at home. I don't get how the odds are this close though I was expecting a more favorable odds for the Astros since Scherzer is slightly injured or it's because there's too much money coming on the Nationals' side.

Edit : Those late runs by the Nats sealing the deal for this game.

Definitely a great game to end the season, we witnessed history unfolding as for the first time all games were won by the visiting team, Scherzer had problems during all the innings and despite allowing 2 runs he still limited the Astros and then Corbin and Hudson came to close the door and did not allow any more runs, Greinke on the other hand never really struggled until the 7th inning, which was the turning point of this game, and I wonder what would have happened if the manager did not got him out of the game that soon?

Congratulations to the Nationals and their fans, this is a World Series we will never forget.

What a game and what a series!  Amazingly all 7 games were won by the away team.  Maybe next hear teams want to tank a little to only barely get into the playoffs lol.  More money was definately on houston in this one and I thought more would come in on houston too.  They are generally a great home team.  Gonna lock this thread since the season is now done.
