Glory lies on the horizon for one side in the 2023 World Series. Which side, though? Well, that's a tougher question to answer.
The Rangers have put faith in their offensive stars even as injuries have ravaged their rotation. Corey Seager and Marcus Semien enjoyed wonderful seasons. So, too, did Adolis Garcia, Jonah Heim and Mitch Garver, all players who have subsequently contributed on Texas' trek to the Fall Classic.
That's good and well. But a challenge is waiting in the wings whether the Rangers draw the upstart Diamondbacks on the sport's grandest stage.

The spoils don't get bigger than this. Neither does the spotlight. Here's what you need to know about the 2023 World Series, including broadcast schedule and start times.
World Series schedule 2023
As has been the case for every Fall Classic since 2000, this year's World Series will be broadcast on Fox. Because the Rangers (90-72) finished the regular season with a better record than the Diamondbacks (84-78), Texas will have home-field advantage.
The first two games and last two games (if necessary) of the best-of-seven series will be held at Globe Life Field in Arlington, while the three middle games (Game 5, if necessary) will take place at Chase Field in Phoenix.
