Boston Red Sox vs. LA Dodgers: A Look At The 2018 World Series TV Schedule, Starting Pitchers

Two big-market teams loaded with tradition meet Tuesday, when the American League champion Boston Red Sox and National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers square off in the 114th World Series.

Major League Baseball on Sunday announced the schedule for the Fall Classic. The Red Sox, winners of 108 games in the regular season, own home-field advantage in the best-of-seven series.

Game 1 and Game 2 will be at Fenway Park. The series shifts to Los Angeles on Friday, as Dodger Stadium will host the next three games.

Fox owns the exclusive television rights to the World Series. ESPN will carry the games on the radio.

While it is unclear who will start for the Dodgers in Boston, the Red Sox will go with ace left-hander Chris Sale in Game 1, while David Price appears to be the probable starter for Game 2. Nathan Eovaldi, who made his MLB debut with the Dodgers, and Rick Porcello round out the four-man rotation.

Dodgers rookie Walker Buehler started in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday, so he will be ruled out for Game 1. The rest of the Dodgers rotation likely includes ace Clayton Kershaw, Hyun-Jin Ryu and former Red Sox and Boston native Rich Hill.
