World Series Game 4 lineups: Nats vs. Astros

Perhaps with the hubbub of Friday night's festivities behind them, everything at Nationals Park tonight will feel a little more normal for the Nationals. Or at least as normal as a World Series game can feel. Point is, the outcome of tonight's game is really important for both teams. At the end of the night, the Nationals are either going to be up three games to one or the Astros are going to have tied the series and recaptured home field advantage.

On paper, the Nats would seem to have something of a pitching advantage. They've got Patrick Corbin starting and Sean Doolittle and Daniel Hudson fully rested and capable of recording more than three outs a piece. The Astros are looking at three, four or maybe five innings from starter José Urquidy, then a parade of relievers, most of whom already pitched Friday night. Whether that actually proves to be an advantage remains to be seen.

The Nationals lineup has Howie Kendrick back in the No. 5 spot, with Asdrúbal Cabrera returning to the bench. It also has Yan Gomes behind the plate, though that's normal when Corbin is on the mound. We'll hopefully get an update on Kurt Suzuki's hip soon, but as of now he remains on the active roster.
