Nationals at Astros World Series Game 2 Lines & Prop Bets
The Washington Nationals took game 1 in the 2019 World Series from the heavily favorited Houston Astros at home, in a final score of 5 to 4. Max Scherzer and Gerrit Cole both pitched their asses off. Scherzer totaled 7 strikeouts and allowed 5 hits. Cole combined for 6 strikeouts, while allowing 8 hits. The National’s Juan Soto led the night offensively with 3 hits, 1 run and 3 RBI’s. World Series Game 2 is being played tonight (October 23rd, 2019), again in Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.
Overall, most books have moved the line roughly 10 points after a tremendous showing from a Washington Nationals underdog. With all due credit to the Nats, it’s hard to bet against these prolific Astros in Game 2 at home with Verlander on the mound and being down 1 game.
