The Los Angeles Dodgers, previously named as the clear favorite for the MLB title, needed seven games to eliminate the Atlanta Braves, but still managed to qualify for the World Series for the third time in the last four seasons. In the decisive match No7 of the final series of the National League, played in the anti-covid `bubble` at the Globe Life Field in Arlington, the `crooks` prevailed tonight with 4:3 as hosts. The winning point was scored by Cody Bellinger with a solo home run in the 7th inning against the `brave` reliquary Chris Martin (L 0-1). The usual LA starter Julio Urias (W 2-0) made the last three defenses from the hill, without allowing a runner on the base, and sealed the team`s ranking for the Autumn Classic. The Dodgers were on the edge after trailing 0-2 and 1-3 in the series to four wins, but survived three straight wins from Friday to Sunday. The long-time outsider Tampa Bay Race will compete with the California giants in the battle for the Commissioner`s Trophy. The Rays, who achieved the best balance in the American League in 2020, prevented a sensational turnaround in the finals of the `young school` and eliminated Houston Astros also with 4-3 victories. Tampa Bay led 3-0 in the series on the neutral ground at Petko Park in San Diego, but allowed only the second equalizer in history in such a playoff format. However, the team from St. Petersburg won the decisive seventh match on Saturday with 4:2 and did not allow Houston to become the second team to turn the final in AL from 0-3, after the Boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees in the legendary 2004. For the first time, the MLB World Series will be played in no-man`s land - all meetings will be hosted by Globe Life Field in the Dallas suburb of Arlington. The home advantage will be on the side of the LA Dodgers, who will attack last in the opening two (October 20-21) and, if necessary, in the final predicted by sport tips two games (October 27-28). Tampa Bay will start defending the third, fourth (October 23-24) and possibly the fifth match (October 25).
