It's been a long season filled with passion, excitement, and even some haymakers (I'm looking at you, Tim Anderson). But at last, we're down to the final two teams remaining.

The Rangers are in search of their first World Series title in club history, and the Diamondbacks are looking to prove the doubters wrong en route to an unexpected World Series title. Let's dive right into this World Series matchup and see which team is favored, the Game 1 lines, and why each team could hoist the Commisioner’s Trophy next week.
