 The Nationals took Game 1 last night, 5-4, after trailing 2-0 through the first inning. It was the third time this postseason they've come from two or more runs behind to win a game; all other teams have three such comebacks combined in the 2019 postseason (one each by the Cardinals, Yankees and Dodgers).

 Teams winning Game 1 of the World Series have gone on to win the Series 63 percent of the time, including wins in 13 of the last 16. The last road team to go up 2-0 in the World Series was the 1999 Yankees in Atlanta, on their way to a 4-0 sweep.

 Houston is an MLB-best 65-23 (.739) at home this year, including the postseason. Only three teams have won as many home games in a season when including the playoffs: the 1975 Reds (68-18), 1998 Yankees (68-20) and 1961 Yankees (66-17).

 With last night's solo home run in the seventh inning, George Springer became the first player in MLB history to homer in five straight World Series games; he also went deep in Games 4 through 7 of the 2017 Series. His 1.094 career slugging percentage in the World Series is the highest all-time among those with at least 25 at-bats.

 Justin Verlander is winless in five career World Series starts with Detroit (2006 and 2012) and Houston (2017), going 0-4 with a 5.67 ERA (17/27.0). The only pitcher all-time to not win any of his first six career World Series starts is Gary Nolan with the Reds from 1970-75.

 Juan Soto went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Game 1. At 20 years and 362 days old, he is the fourth-youngest player all-time to homer in a World Series game (behind Andruw Jones, Miguel Cabrera and Mickey Mantle), and the third-youngest with three RBI (behind Jones and Joe Garagiola).

 Stephen Strasburg is 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA in four postseason outings this year (three starts), with 33 strikeouts and just one walk. He has an 11.5 strikeout-walk ratio in his postseason career (57/5), second best all-time among pitchers with at least 40 innings (Schoolboy Rowe, 13.5).

HOUSTON -- There are three tiers of familiarity with the Houston Astros that Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg will aim to exploit when he takes the mound Wednesday in Game 2 of the World Series.
In addition to his film study of the American League Championship Series that the Astros claimed in six games over the New York Yankees and the first-hand experience he gleaned watching the Nationals' 5-4 victory in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday, Strasburg tapped into the recesses of his memory while crafting a scouting report on Houston.
