The 2023 World Series is now set. After six months of baseballing action, the MLB season has now reached its final point. Following their impressive wins in the LCS, the Texas Rangers, and the Arizona Diamondbacks will lock horns in this year’s Fall Classic.

The Rangers first knocked off their rivals the Houston Astros. After winning the first two games, they were pegged back by their opponents. However, they found the formula again and eliminated them following an 11-4 Game 7 victory. For the D-Backs, it was a different story.

These two have been instrumental in the success of their teams in the LCS. They were named the MVPs of the LCS for their consistent performances. While Marte enjoys a great postseason-hitting streak, Garcia has been head and shoulders above everyone.
