The Texas Rangers will start their World Series journey on Friday, playing Game 1 against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Globe Life Field in Arlington.
They earned their spot in the last, most important series of the season after beating the Houston Astros in seven games during the American League Championship Series.
The Rangers might be seen as slight favorites to win it all, especially if you ask Dallas Mavericks players.
The Mavs are all behind the baseball team in town, and when asked who will win, all of them said that the Rangers will come out on top.
It’s unanimous! The guys sound off on who will win the World Series.
Good luck tonight, @rangers! #MFFL #GoAndTakeIt pic.twitter.com/m1WTTrBRng

Players such as Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, Dwight Powell, Josh Green, Seth Curry, Grant Williams, and several others were kind enough to offer their predictions of the series.
From a Rangers sweep to “Texas in six,” all of them predicted the World Series trophy staying in the Lone Star state.
The Rangers played consecutive World Series in 2010 and 2011.
The last one was particularly heartbreaking: they came, in Game 6, one strike away from the World Series championship, and it would have been the first title in franchise history.
Texas will now get a chance to bring that title to Arlington, and it’s cool to see the area’s professional basketball team rallying behind them.
Speaking of 2011, the Mavs were able to win the trophy that year against LeBron James’ Miami Heat, behind a masterful Finals performance by franchise legend Dirk Nowitzki.
To think Texas was this close to sweeping baseball and basketball that year!
Now, the Rangers are back at it after a few obscure years.
It’s a golden opportunity to gift fans with the first Fall Classic in franchise history.
