World Series Game 1 Starting Pitchers

The Washington Nationals are holding their pitching rotation close to the vest, but all signs point to them not changing what’s been working. With that being said, it looks like Max Scherzer gets the nod in Game 1.

Conversely, the Houston Astros have announced their Game 1 starter in Gerrit Cole. To say that Cole is on a run for the ages is an understatement as he’s 19 – 0 in his last 25 starts (including post-season).
