LOS ANGELES — All you fans who hated the rule that linked the All-Star Game to home-field advantage in the World Series, guess what?
This is your year.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to host the Houston Astros in Game 7 on Wednesday night, thanks to a change that went into effect this season.
Now, teams earn the right: Los Angeles posted the most wins in the majors, so the all-or-nothing matchup is at Dodger Stadium.
“The home-field advantage, having the last at-bat, it’s definitely huge. Especially in this Series, you see how many times it’s gone back and forth, so to be able to have that last at-bat is huge,” Dodgers star Justin Turner said.
