I would kinda prefer to start the home game, which was the original plan until someone pointed out that N2P wouldn't do back-to-back games because of superstition. Also kinda feels like a setup w/ Cole pitching 
Does N2P have an opinion on all of this?
I'll acquiesce and take game 1 if it's the will of the people 
First, I hope the Moderators will DELETE any World Series GDT started by anyone who has not started a GDT in 2019. Rookies can create one in 2020 (but not Opening Day.)
This is my proposed World Series GDT schedule, based on sweeping the Cardinals, beating the favored Dodgers, and matching GDT creators to the pitchers they won with, (and generally, if they were on the road or at home.) You can call it karma or fate or good vibes or superstition, but this has worked so far.
Game 1 at Houston: spidernat, Scherzer. spidernat won Game 2 at STL with Scherzer. spidernat also got a road win in 2014, our only win against San Franciso (Game 3 with Fister.) spidernat posted Mon 10-21-19 at 11:31:24 AM » “I'm surprised at how many people are shaking in their boots over the possibility of going up against the astros and about the week "layoff". I wonder if all fanbases are filled with so many chicken littles.” We need this Natitude.
Game 2 at Houston: RobDibblesGhost, Strasburg. RDG won Game 3 vs STL with Strasburg. RDG also won a 2017 road game at the Dodgers, with Gio Gonzalez. If we lose Game 1, maybe move bluestreak up to take Game 2. bluestreak got our first win in BOTH the Dodgers series and the Cardinals series, with Strasburg. We need to win at least one of the first 2 games in Houston.
Game 3 at Washington: nats2playoffs, Corbin. I won Game 4 in DC with Corbin, my 3rd Corbin win of the season in 9 GDTs (and 1st playoff win ever.) Note that the runt in my avatar, throwing a ball up and down, is left-handed, like Corbin. (If they move Corbin to Game 4, then bluestreak and I can switch.)
Game 4 at Washington: bluestreak, presumably Sanchez. bluestreak got our first win in BOTH the the Cardinals series, with Sanchez, and in the Dodgers series with Strasburg.
If the Nationals sweep games 1-2-3, let The Chief start this GDT, if he wants it (for the World Series win.)
If needed,
Game 5 at Washington: Slateman, Scherzer. Slateman won elimination Game 4 in DC vs the Dodgers with Scherzer.
If the Nationals are up 3-1, let The Chief start this GDT, if he wants it (for the World Series win.)
If needed,
Game 6 at Houston: NatNasty, Strasburg. (He better have the meat grilled and ready to eat BEFORE first pitch! Leave work early!) NatNasty won 2019 elimination Game 5 at the Dodgers with Strasburg. NatNasty also won the 2017 elimination Game 4 at the Cubs, also with Strasburg.
If needed,
Game 7 at Houston: imref, Corbin or Sanchez. imref won the 2019 elimination Wild Card game in DC against the Brewers, with Scherzer.
This is what
The Chief posted the last time the Nationals were in the process of being eliminated:

“I know it's early, but I need to get this off my chest:
I'll never truly believe this team can do it until they show me otherwise, and that's how I've felt every day for the last 5 years.”
So let's deliver a World Series to The Chief and DC's long-suffering baseball fans with this schedule.
