HOUSTON — If the Yankees close out the Astros on Friday night, things may get a lot hotter in the World Series.
The Dodgers won Thursday against the Cubs to take the National League Championship Series. Game 1 of the World Series is scheduled for Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
The weather forecast for Los Angeles Tuesday calls for a high of 101 degrees — or about the same as the miles per hour of an Aroldis Chapman fastball.
Game time in L.A. will be about 5 p.m. local time, so it should be a wee bit cooler for the first pitch. The forecast calls for a high of 95 on Wednesday for Game 2.
