MLB schedule today has 1 game
Game 1 of the 2023 World Series on Friday night features the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers, which is not at all the matchup that we expected coming into the season. The Diamondbacks finished 13 games out of a Wild Card spot last season and the Rangers finished 18 games out. What a difference a year makes!
As they have in every series this postseason, the Diamondbacks face long odds and they are a sizable underdog in Game 1. They are 2-1 in that role in these playoffs. The Rangers are 3-0 in Game 1s, but this is their biggest favorite role in that situation to this point.
I wrote up my Diamondbacks vs. Rangers series preview a couple days ago, so you can check that, but here are my thoughts on Game 1.
