Well, the second annual MLB World Series kicks off tonight (it only started last year, right?), but the Cubs will not participate. Instead the Los Angeles Dodgers will host the Houston Astros in a best of seven contest, with home field advantage going to the Dodgers
The Dodgers, you might’ve heard, haven’t won a World Series title since 1988. The Astros, meanwhile, have appeared in just one and have no World Series titles of their own.
