Houston Astros are the favourites to win the World Series but will have to come from behind to do so. They lost the opening game of the best-of-seven series to the Washington Nationals. Again, this game is being played in Houston and the Astros won't want to go 2-0 down with five to play and the next two in Washington. The Nationals won the first match 5-4 despite going 2-0 down early in the match.
They fought back superbly to not just level the scores but go 5-2 up. Houston attempted their own comeback but still lost the match. For this second match, Houston's Justin Verlander will be facing Washington's Stephen Strasburg on the mound. Verlander has had a good season and will hopefully get his team level. Go for Houston to level the scores with a win in this match.

Our Houston Astros vs Washington Nationals Prediction
Houston need to get back level in this best-of-seven series. They narrowly lost the first match but again have home advantage. A win will at least stem Washington's growing confidence. Home advantage could be vital and Houston don't regularly lose two home games in a row. Go for them to level the score here.
