who will be home team for world series
2017 World Series This was the first World Series in which home-field advantage was decided by the regular season record of pennant winners. From 1903 to 2002, home-field advantage alternated between the AL and NL,[a] and from 2003 to 2016, it was determined by results from that season's All-Star Game, when it was awarded to the team from the winning league. With 104 regular season wins, the Dodgers earned home-field advantage over the Astros, who had 101 regular season wins. The series was played in a 2–3–2 format, with the Dodgers hosting Games 1, 2, 6, and 7; and the Astros hosting Games 3, 4, and 5.
Major League Baseball postseason Following the acceptance of a new collective bargaining agreement after the 2016 season, home-field advantage in the World Series will no longer be tied to the outcome of the All-Star Game, but will instead go to the team with the better regular-season record. [3]
