The 2021 World Series is set, and there won’t be a repeat winner this year.
The defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers were eliminated by the Atlanta Braves in Game 6 of the NLCS on Saturday night. The Braves, who blew a 3-1 series lead to the Dodgers in last year’s NLCS, got revenge on Los Angeles and won their first National League pennant since 1999.
Now, the Houston Astros are the last team standing in the way of the Braves and their first World Series title since 1995.
Houston advanced to the World Series with a Game 6 win over the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS on Friday.
