If you enjoy watching baseball — and I assume you’re here because you do! — then you’re probably rooting for the Yankees and Padres to win today so that we can have more baseball this week.
If the Phillies and Astros wrap up their series today, and both teams need just one more win to do that, we won’t have any baseball until Friday. That’s the scheduled day for Game 1 of the World Series. The WS will begin in either Houston or New York regardless of who wins the NLCS, because both the Astros and Yankees had better records than either of the NLCS teams.
