It's not quite the underdog story of the St. Louis Blues, but the Nationals have overcome some long odds to reach the World Series this season.
On May 23, the Nats had just been swept by New York in a 4-game series and dropped to 19-31 on the season. The next day, according to records provided by SportsBetting.ag, Washington's odds to win the World Series were 50/1.
Here is a timeline of the Nationals' World Series odds throughout the season:
March 19 (Preseason) - 20/1
April 19 - 25/1
May 24 - 50/1
June 15 - 40/1
July 15 - 30/1
August 1 (All-Star Break) - 22/1
September 3 - 16/1
Before Postseason - 14/1
After Wild Card - 10/1
The Nats are just the fourth team in baseball history to reach the World Series after being at least 12 games under .500 during the regular season.
The Astros had 7/1 Series odds before the season started, and never had worse than 5/1 odds from the All-Star Break on.
