Astros in the driving seat now. Even if they lose tonight I would fancy them to win the last 2 games back in Houston, but I think they might do it in 6 anyway.
It’s been impossible to call almost right up to the end.
Both teams have been awesome and both deserved to be there. Incredible that all 7 games were won by the visiting side too. But the Nats have come back from the brink time and time again.
Congratulations to World Series Champs Washington Nationals - well deserved. Got to feel sorry for the Astros - must be heartbreaking to lose after playing so well.
From 2-0 down through six innings to winning 6-2 after nine. They’ve pulled it out of the bag all the way through the playoffs and game seven was no exception.
Delighted about the result, I was terrified that the Nats had thrown it away (though as a Cardinals fan, my feelings are a bit mixed).
One of the things I love about baseball is its ability to provide the opportunity for every dog to have its day, there have been some wonderful, if overly-sentimental, examples of this in the last 10 years or so...

Houston have the momentum now, so are probably favourites, but who can tell?
Could be a classic series.
No home wins in five games and now back to Houston.
1906 and 1996 the only other times.
Each time the series has ended 4-2. Can the Nationals force a deciding 7th game?
Final game: Greinke vs Scherzer
Can’t call it either way.

Game 2 @ Houston - won by Washington
Game 3 @ Washington - won by Houston
Game 5 @ Washington - won by Houston
Game 6 @ Houston - won by Washington
Game 7 @ Houston - won by Washington
As HI said, what a bizarre sequence of results made even more bizarre with another away win.
Congrats to the Nats. Great effort, great team, worthy Champs.
One of the many great things about baseball is it unpredictable and throws up different champions every year.
What sport can I follow between now and April.
