Gerrit Cole did not have his best stuff. No problem! He still shutout the Yankees anyway. Meanwhile the Nationals clinched a spot in the World Series. I wonder if Nats fans ever REALLY thought it was going to happen.

The Nationals leaned on their much maligned bullpen to clinch the pennant. Meanwhile one of the best pitchers in the game did NOT have his best stuff but won anyway.
Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO(Who Owns October.)
And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.
But the World Series deserves its own stats. WOWS (Who Owns the World Series.)
At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter. The WOWS total will be kept separately. Each game now counts towards both tallies.
A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.

José Altuve homered and singled, scoring twice and stole a base in the Astros 4-1 win against the Yankees.
Gerrit Cole worked out of trouble to give the Astros 7 shutout innings, striking out 7 Yankees and earning the 4-1 decision.
