Nationals

Several people across the country have their opinion on which team will win the 2019 World Series between the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros.

But humans aren't the only ones with predictions, too. Amazon Alexa, a virtual assistant, was asked by CNN's Wolf Blitzer what its World Series prediction was.

Alexa's response was priceless, and very human-like as well.

"Statistically, the Astros are favored to win it," Alexa said. "However, the Nationals are peaking at the perfect time. My prediction: I'm picking my home away from home-based team, the Washington Nationals. Alrighty, play ball!"

For Nationals fans, hopefully, Alexa's prediction comes true. Game 1 between the Astros and Nationals is Tuesday at 8 p.m.
