Atlanta Braves World Series schedule

Yes, the Atlanta Braves were the host team vs. the Dodgers, but that doesn’t matter for the World Series.

Still dealing with the euphoria:  our Atlanta Braves are going to the World Series!  They will face Troy Snitker and the Houston Astros starting on Tuesday, October 26th at Minute Maid Park.

Snitker — yes, the son of Braves manager Brian Snitker — is one of the hitting coaches for the Astros.  Somebody has already wondered aloud on twitter whether Brian’s wide is going to get one of those ‘split jerseys’ to pay allegiance to both.

But… about that game schedule:

• TUESDAY OCT 26.  8pm EDT.  Braves at Astros; Minute Maid Park, Houston.
• WEDNESDAY OCT 27.  8PM EDT.  Braves at Astros; Minute Maid Park, Houston.
• Travel Day
• FRIDAY OCT 29.  8PM EDT.  Astros at Braves; Truist Park, Atlanta.
• SATURDAY OCT 30.  8PM EDT.  Astros at Braves; Truist Park, Atlanta.

The obligatory “if necessary” games:

• SUNDAY OCT 31.  8PM EDT.  Astros at Braves; Truist Park, Atlanta.
• Travel Day
• MONDAY NOV 2.  8PM EDT.  Braves at Astros; Minute Maid Park, Houston.
• TUESDAY NOV 3.  8PM EDT.  Braves at Astros; Minute Maid Park, Houston.

All games will be broadcast on the “Big Fox” network (yes… we’re done with Ron Darling for the year… thank heaven above).

After meeting the Astros in the post-season for what seemed every year in the 1990’s, it’s been quite a while since these clubs have even played at all… 2017 to be exact.

That year, of course, was the season of Houston’s tainted championship — though as it happens, most of the members of that club are no longer with the team:  only Altuve, Bregman, Correa, and Gurriel are still there.

But after some 700+ games between these teams, this will be their first matchup for the whole enchilada.  The World Series.

We will have much more to say about this event in the coming days, but I will go ahead and get this on the record now:  Braves take the series in 5 games…. 6 tops.  Let git ‘r done.
