What to know for the World Series matchup between the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves

Major League Baseball's next champion will soon be crowned as the Atlanta Braves take on the Houston Astros in the best-of-seven World Series starting Tuesday night.
The Astros most recently won the World Series in 2017 and have been one of the most dominant -- and controversial -- teams of the past few years. The Braves, meanwhile, have been consistently competitive in recent seasons but are making their first World Series appearance since 1999.
