Who will get home-field advantage within the World Series?
World Series home-field advantage is made up our minds via who had the most productive regular-season file. This 12 months’s home-field advantage is trickier to resolve than maximum years as a result of 3 of the 4 closing groups completed 90-72 within the steady season. The Rangers, Astros and Phillies all had 90 wins, whilst the Diamondbacks went 84-78. When groups have the similar file, the head-to-head tiebreaker comes into play.
Here’s a breakdown of the way it’ll paintings for each workforce. The workforce with home-field advantage would host World Series Games 1 and a pair of, as smartly as Games 6 an 7 (if vital).
- Rangers: Will have home-field advantage in World Series in the event that they advance
- Astros: Will have home-field advantage in World Series vs. Diamondbacks
- Phillies: Will have home-field advantage in World Series vs. Astros
- Diamondbacks: Will now not have home-field advantage in World Series
So sure, the Rangers, the No. 5 seed within the American League and a workforce that has now not had home-field advantage in any spherical of the postseason so far, can have home-field advantage within the World Series with two extra wins. The Rangers misplaced the AL West and home-field advantage within the ALCS to the Astros via distinctive feature of shedding the season sequence to their in-state opponents 9-4. However, Texas swept the Phillies in a season-opening three-game sequence that started on Opening Day (March 30), and it may well be the explanation why the Rangers host Game 1 of the World Series.
The Phillies, in the meantime, additionally can have an early season sequence to thank for home-field advantage in the event that they get a World Series rematch towards the Astros. Philadelphia took two of 3 from Houston in overdue April at Minute Maid Park.
