All games of the Fall Classic will start at the same time: at 8:03 pm ET. After coming back to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies on the road, the Diamondbacks will now have to head to Globe Life Park to play against Texas.
Games 5, 6 and 7 are only to be played if necessary. It's a best of seven series, which means the first to four wins ends the series. If that happens in four or five games, the rest aren't needed.
The Texas Rangers ousted the Houston Astros, also in seven games. Led by Adolis Garcia and Corey Seager, the team has reached the World Series and will be looking to finally add the trophy to their franchise's historic mantle.
The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, are looking to add to their collection. It has been a long time since they went to the Fall Classic, though. They defeated the New York Yankees in seven games back in 2001 for their only title. They are searching for their second, and a surprising win considering they only won 84 regular season games.
