I want the Astros to win the WS, but the other 3 series feature the Dodgers, Yankees and Cubs. Probably the 3 largest fan bases by numbers in baseball.

Not much the Astros can do about that.

This.

The west coast series is always going to be the "late game." Even moreso when the Dodgers are involved. The other games are @ Chicago (who has a nationwide following) and @ NYY (who has a nation wide following). Fox would probably love to have Boston on in prime time, but sorry, even though they play in the 4th largest city the Astros are largely a regional team.

It's kinda lame that with how regional baseball fan bases are that they can't have a few of them go against each other. You can't tell Me that the gained viewers in Houston and Boston wouldn't be worth it.
