Last year, the Braves and Astros faced off in the World Series. 

The Braves won the series in six games, which was their first World Series Championship in 25 years. 

In free agency, they lost their best player Freddie Freeman to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but so far they have done just fine without him.

Both the Astros and Braves could be back in the World Series once again this season.
