The hard-fought series between Washington and Los Angeles has taken the option of Stephen Strasburg or Max Scherzer off the table for Game 1. That sets up the Cardinals at home to get off to a strong start. They will instead face Anibal Sanchez who is just 2-4 for his career vs. St. Louis. Miles Mikolas posted a 3.00 ERA in a pair of starts vs. Washington this season, and I give the edge on the hill to the Cardinals in this one. Game 1 of the Championship Series has gone to the home team to the tune of a 103-73 record all time. Take the home team St. Louis.
