Returning to the World Series for the fourth time in six years, the Houston Astros aren’t new to this.
After sweeping their way past the Seattle Mariners in the ALDS and New York Yankees in the ALCS, the Astros are now set to meet the National League champion Philadelphia Phillies in the Fall Classic.
Any way you watch or listen to the game, one thing is for sure the World Series will be one to watch. Grab some peanuts, popcorn, and some hot dogs if you’re watching from home and of course your favorite beverage and enjoy October’s favorite team play for world dominance.
The Astros’ likely starters for Games 1 and 2 will be Justin Verlander and Framber Valdez, but the starters could change for Games 3 and 4 depending on how manager Dusty Baker wants to attack the Phillies.
