nah. Astros might win tomorrow but then the Nats have the advantage in 6 and 7 because of road field advantage.
Problem for the Astros is after it's tied up 2-2 tonight, the Nationals still have road field advantage even though tomorrow's game is still @ WAS.

Get into the Nats deep bullpen is a recipe for success
BREGMAN GRAND SLAM
Let's bring 'em home in 5 and 6, boys.
Big defensive play by Gurriel, otherwise the Natty Lites get momentum heading into tomorrow.
I don't get why the Astros don't just go over the Charmin soft salary cap and just bring back Cole? Who cares if you have to pay a luxury tax, it's worth it if it means staying at the top instead of falling back into mediocrity. You're talking paying 9 figures in a 13-figure industry... and winning is far more important than money, tbh.
Astros favorites again. Clutch play by their bullpen of all things.
Impressive performance by Urquiti. He had the Nats off balance and is sneaky fast. No BS throwing strikes.
The Nats don't have an answer for Robinson Chirinos.
Everyone has an answer for Yordan Alvarez.
I was not pleased with Hinch going to the pen so early. IMO, he could have used Urquidy for at least 1 more, if not 2 innings. U only threw 60 something pitches and was almost masterful.
Is U going to be the game 7 guy?
Just heard Scherzer scratched. Nats throwing some fresh meat out on the mound.
Things lining up good.
Fresh meat for Jordan
DP out of the jam
Cole gots to figure out how to get the kid out
Who the Nats got pitching Game 6 and 7? This series feeling like it's over.
Strasbourg next and Sertzer if he heals or Sanchez for 7
LOL lining up good. He's getting owned.
Backdoor sweep it is.
Great. Another one of these boring games where one team races out to the lead early and the trailing team will predictably respond with a litany of strikeouts and pop ups. This theme has defined this pretty uneventful post-season.
Another 2 run meatball. Wait til Martinez gets into the bullpen.
Cole needs to keep it going.
"The planned parade curse." It's been way downhill for the Nats ever since. Scherzer scratched. The Nats scoring only like 1 run over the last 3 games. Etc.
This whole post season was a huge bust. Bunch of nobody teams making it and the end results speaks for themselves.
I got a dog in the hunt so I don’t see it that way.

Yanks and Astros was badass series.
I don't mind nobody teams making it, but the games themselves have been dreadful outside of a few good ones (Game 5 of the NLDS, the Altuve walk off, Game 1 of the WS). We love post season baseball because of the improbable rallies and comebacks. I blame pitching. Just too good. You give a Gerritt Cole a 4 run lead and it's basically over 99.9 percent of the time. Pitching has taken a huge leap in just the last 3 or 4 years, with how they use high speed cameras, data, etc. Manfred is too much of a weak willed chicken to do anything about it, though. I would like to see the game rebalanced to where an Ace's ERA isn't in the low 2s or high 1s, but around 3 to 3.5.
