While I picked the Astros to win the series in six games, and they technically could still do that, it certainly does not look as if they brought their "A" game last night during their 12-3 loss. The Astros are now two games down in the best of seven series.
Remember--it is Baseball! There are still five games possible and anything can happen!
Here are some World Series fun facts from CBS Sports.
The Nationals have outscored the Astros 17-7.
Road teams who take a 2-0 series lead have won the Series 77 percent of the time.
The last 11 MLB teams to take a 2-0 lead have gone on to win the title, including the 2018 Red Sox.
A total of 17 runs from the Nats are the most by road team in the first two games of the World Series since the 1960 Yankees (20 runs vs. Pirates).
Just three of the previous 25 teams to lose the first two games at home under the current 2-3-2 format have come back to win the World Series. It hasn't been accomplished since the 1996 New York Yankees came back against the Atlanta Braves.
