Texas Rangers Bruce Bochy and Nathan Eovaldi speak to the media before Game 1 of the World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Texas Rangers have the home-field advantage and their top hurler on the mound in Game 1 of the World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.ARLINGTON, Texas — Today’s the day, baseball fans. The first game on the grandest stage is set at the doors of Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The participants? Two Wild Card teams, fighting the odds of recent franchise history and getting hot at the right time to find themselves battling for the Commissioner’s Trophy.
There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that Eovaldi is back to full strength – whether that’s because he’s healed or because he’s just running on postseason adrenaline that has made him a legendary figure in October, is yet to be seen. There is a good chance he places in the top-5 in Cy Young balloting again. But the Cy Young is based on regular season performance, a good thing for Gallen. The 27-year-old has simply not performed well in the later stages of the 2023 postseason.
