2019 WORLD SERIES
Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET
Predicting the unpredictable may be the only way, in this year’s World Series, to prepare yourself for what’s to happen each night. During the first two games, the heavily favored Houston Astros had home-field advantage and played under American League rules (meaning pitchers for both teams could be substituted at the plate by designated hitters), yet the Washington Nationals won both of those games – the second one by a resounding 12-3 margin. Yet in last night’s Game 3, when the Nationals had the advantage of both home field and the National League rules (under which pitchers for both teams must take their turns at bat), the Astros won, 4-1. For tonight’s Game 4, again, Washington has the rules and field advantage – but as with all World Series games played this year, that may not mean much.
