The 2019 baseball World Series beckons and one of the St Louis Cardinals or Washington Nationals will be there. The former has a storied history of going to baseball's big one, while the latter has never even been there! To see who will prevail in the NLCS, follow our guide to getting a Nationals vs Cardinals live stream – no matter were on Earth you are.
Both the Cardinals and the Nationals needed the full five games to dispatch their opponents in their respective division series.
The Cards were particularly emphatic in their deciding game, destroying the Atlanta Braves 13-1. The box score from that game shows an evenly shared out contribution from the offence, but they'll be relying on their dual Pauls – Goldschmidt and DeJong – to go big at the Busch Stadium and beyond.
The men from the capital had to overcome last year's losing finalists the LA Dodgers to take their next step towards the franchise's first ever World Series. After falling behind twice in the series, Howie Kendrick's heroics (4 RBIs in Game 5) saw them through earlier in the week.
Whether you’re crackers for the Cardinals, a Nationals nut or just a fan of baseball, we’ll show you how to watch every game in the 2019 NLCS series online from anywhere in the world without resorting to some dodgy feed you find on Reddit. Keep reading and we’ll guide you through all of the Nationals vs Cardinals live stream options to watch the baseball on your TV, computer and even on your mobile devices.
