Now that the Astros have finished off the Yankees in the ALCS, it's time to look ahead to see how Houston stacks up to the Washington Nationals.

Luckily, the Astros once again have home-field advantage for this series, so they should continue to feed off the crowd at Minute Maid.

ESPN 97.5's Joel Blank shares his thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of both teams, and gives a prediction for the World Series. Point Blank is presented by Fitz Roofing.
