Major League Baseball is planning to hold playoff games in four “bubble” locations in California and Texas, an effort to minimize Covid-19 risk by completing the season in relative isolation, according to a person familiar with the situation.
After a first playoff round held in participating teams’ ballparks around the country, the league is expecting to send four National League squads to Houston and Arlington, Texas, with American League contenders heading to Los Angeles and San Diego. The World Series would take place at the Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field in Arlington, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the plan isn’t yet public.
