World Series

The 2018 World Series will be the championship series of Major League Baseball's 2018 season. The 114th edition of the World Series will be played between the American League champion (either the Boston Red Sox or the Houston Astros) versus the National League champion (either the Milwaukee Brewers or the Los Angeles Dodgers) and will begin on Tuesday, October 23. A potential Game 7 is scheduled to be played on October 31.[2] The Series will be televised nationally by Fox. For the second year in a row, the World Series will be sponsored by YouTube TV and officially will be known as the 2018 World Series presented by YouTube TV.[3]

Summary

The team with the better regular season record receives home field advantage; as both teams in the ALCS have better regular season records than both teams in the NLCS, the AL team will host Games 1 and 2, and (if necessary) Games 6 and 7.
Series tied, 0–0.
