The first leg of the World Series, technically, was an even split. Both the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks won a game in Dallas.
But even a casual fan could tell you the Diamondbacks were the stronger team in the early part of the Series. Now Arizona has home field advantage and the Rangers are going to have to step up if they want to cash in on their dreams of winning their first World Series.

How can I watch the 2023 World Series for free—even if I don’t have cable?
It’s a breeze if you have an over-the-air antenna. The World Series is being broadcast on Fox, meaning you’ve got a very good chance of watching the game without cable. Antennas usually ranges between $10 and $20. To ensure you’re getting the most reliable signal, get a good HD antenna and test it in multiple locations in your home.
Can I stream the 2023 World Series live online if I don’t have a cable subscription?
Yes and there are slew of options. If you do have a cable subscription, the game is being streamed live on the Fox Sports Go app. (You can also try logging into Fox.com or use the Fox Now app.) Otherwise, try one of these.
Disney+
Disney’s bundle of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ no longer has a free trial, so you’ll have to pay $15 per month for all three combined (or $25 per month for no ads on Hulu).
Including Live TV in the bundle bumps the price to $77 per month ($90 with no ads).
Hulu with Live TV
The free trial on this service is no longer offered, as well. It will now cost you $77 per month.
YouTubeTV
After up to a two-week trial, you can expect monthly charges of $73. YouTube is also now the home of Sunday Ticket. Prices on that service currently range from $300 to $439 for the season, with the current discounts.
Sling TV
Dish Network’s Sling lower-tiered “Orange” plan will run you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan bumps the cost to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial has disappeared, but the cord-cutting service is offering 50% off of the first month’s bill.
DirecTV Stream
Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service will run you $75 per month and up after the free trial option.
Fubo TV
This sports-focused cord-cutting service carries broadcast networks in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly charges of $75 and up, depending on the channels you choose.
Does Major League Baseball offer any viewing options to watch the World Series?
It does—for both people who want to watch or just listen to the games.
MLB.TV offers every post season game, including archived broadcasts of the playoffs. There’s no free trial, but for $24.99, you can watch the World Series games. If you’d prefer to only listen to the games, that will cost just $3.99. Either way, you will need to authenticate a subscription to a participating Pay TV provider to stream the games live.
How many World Series titles have the Rangers and Diamondbacks won?
The Diamondbacks have only won the October Classic one time—in 2001. The Ranger, as mentioned, have never won, one of just six teams to not hold the Commissioner’s trophy.
