Its been a long time since we have seen a total this low and I think its set low for a reason as Cole has not lost a start since May and only allowed 1 run in his last 22 innings.

Nationals Scherzer is a veteran pitcher with a 2-0 1.80 ERA post season, I think we see a pitchers duel here in game 1 and a low scoring game. In his last two playoff starts he's looked better than ever, allowing one run on five hits while striking out 18 over 14.0 innings.
Tonight we have two quality pitchers who should go seven innings, and I expect World Series game 1 to stay UNDER THE TOTAL.
