Washington at Houston

It's Game 7 with the visiting team having won every game! Washington is no fluke, as the offense finished sixth in the regular season in runs scored, second in on-base percentage, and seventh in slugging, while the pitching staff can throw out multiple aces. The Nationals are a dog but go with veteran strikeout artist Max Scherzer, who is 3-0 in the playoffs with a 2.16 ERA. Washington has won all four of his postseason starts, with 34 Ks, 14 hits allowed in 25 innings. The Nationals are on a 43-19 run, 20-7 against winning teams, plus 16-5 when Scherzer takes the mound. Houston starts 36-year-old Zack Greinke (0-2, 5.30 ERA), who has been mostly awful in the postseason. Washington is on a 22-8 run versus the Astros, 11-1 in this building, including winning all three games in Houston in this series outscoring the Astros 24-9. Play Washington.
