The two sides did not meet during the regular season. In fact, they haven’t played with each other since 2017, when the Astros took a 4-0 lead against the Braves and outdid them by 25 points in the regular season. It is fair to write that these results have no predictive value as they relate to this series.
However, SportsLine’s forecast should contain some. Here’s what they expected based on a pre-World Series simulation:
- Astros: World Championship winners in 49.5 percent of simulations
- Braves: World Championship winners in 50.5 percent of simulations
In other words, it is expected to be soon.
