MLB News: World Series 2022: Schedule, when it starts, and where to watch it

Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, will be the setting when the American League champions, the Astros, take on the surprise National League champions, the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 of the 2022 World Series.

MLB has released the schedule for each of the seven games, all of which will start at 8:03 pm Eastern time.

The format will be a familiar one, with the first two games at the home of the team with the better regular season record, followed by three games at the opposing team’s park.

If necessary, the series will return to the park that opens the series.

This year the Astros will potentially host four of the seven games as they finished the regular season with a 106-56 record, while the Phillies finished with a record of 87-75. A difference of 19 games between the two teams.

The Astros are looking to win their second title after winning in 2017, but it came with a huge asterisk after they were found to have stolen signs during the playoffs, including the World Series in which they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Meanwhile, the Phillies will be looking for their third championship after winning titles in 1980 and 2008.

Astros-Phillies playoff history

The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Houston Astros in the 1980 National League Championship Series in five games, advancing to that year’s World Series, where they won their first title in franchise history.

A couple of decades later, the Astros would be sent to the American League during MLB realignment.
