The Atlanta Braves and the Houston Astros will kick off the 2021 World Series on Tuesday night with Game 1. The Astros, by virtue of having the better regular-season record, have home-field advantage in the matchup. That means Games 1 and 2 (and Games 6 and 7, if necessary) will be played at Minute Maid Park.

The Braves, appearing in their first World Series since 1999, reached this point after dispatching the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Division Series, and then the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Championship Series. The Astros won their third pennant in five years by toppling a pair of Sox: the Chicago White Sox in the ALDS, and the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS.

With that throat-clearing out of the way, let's get to the important stuff -- like how you can watch Tuesday night's game.

Morton is appearing in his third career World Series, having previously pitched in Fall Classics with the Astros (winning in 2017) and the Rays (losing in 2020). During the regular season, he started 33 times and accumulated a 3.34 ERA (132 ERA+) and a 3.72 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

Valdez had the lowest average launch angle against of any starter this season. In other words, he's highly adept at generating groundballs. That skill helped him post a 3.14 ERA (137 ERA+) and a 2.16 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 22 regular season starts. Valdez was the only member of the Astros to record at least 21 outs during the ALCS, so the pressure is on him to set a proper tone for the World Series.

There's an old saying that it isn't a series until the road team wins a game. For maximum entertainment value, why don't we make this one a series right off the bat?

2021 World Series predictions, Astros-Braves picks: Experts split on evenly matched Fall Classic::

The Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros will play Game 1 of the 2021 World Series on Tuesday night in Minute Maid Park. The Astros will be vying for their second championship in the last five years, while the Braves are trying to hoist the trophy for the first time since 1995.

The Astros reached the Fall Classic by defeating the Red Sox in six games in the ALCS. The Braves, meantime, upset the Dodgers in six games in the NLCS.

In this series, the Astros come in as the consensus favorites. Despite playing in a tougher division during the regular season, the Astros bested the Braves by seven games in the standings and by 71 runs in run differential. As well, they come into this series with more days of rest, and they'll play a potential Game 7 at home. All that said, baseball is built to defy such expectations, and no one knows how it's going to play out.

The Atlanta Braves and the Houston Astros will kick off the 2021 World Series on Tuesday night. The Astros possess home-field advantage by virtue of having a better regular season record, meaning Games 1 and 2 will be played at Minute Maid Park in Houston. (Games 3 through 5 will be hosted at Truist Park.)

The Braves, appearing in their first World Series since 1999, reached this point by first defeating the Milwaukee Brewers in four games in the National League Division Series. The Braves then outlasted the Los Angeles Dodgers, the reigning champions, in a six-game series that avenged Atlanta's loss in last year's NL Championship Series. The Braves are in pursuit of their second World Series title since moving to Atlanta.

The Astros, meanwhile, are competing in their third World Series in five years. Houston knocked off the Chicago White Sox in four games during the American League Division Series. The Astros then out-slugged the Boston Red Sox in six games in the ALCS. The Astros are seeking their second ever championship.

Clearly the recent experience, if such a thing matters at this level, favors the Astros. Here are five other storylines worth watching as the Fall Classic gets underway.

1. Can Houston's bats torch Braves' starters?
The Astros had the majors' most potent offense during the regular season, finishing first in wRC+ (a FanGraphs metric that adjusts for ballpark) and runs scored, and ninth in home runs. For our money, one of the most intriguing stories of this series is whether or not the Astros lineup can find a way to lift the pitches they see from the Braves' three main starting pitchers: Charlie Morton, Max Fried, and Ian Anderson.

When we write "lift," we mean that literally. No starting pitcher had a lower average launch angle-against during the regular season than Houston's Framber Valdez (-5.5 degrees). Morton, Fried, and Anderson weren't too shabby themselves, however. Check out their ranks among the 129 pitchers who threw at least 100 innings:

Morton: 18th (6.8 degrees)
Fried: 10th (4.7 degrees)
Anderson: 8th (4.5 degrees)
There's a whole conversation to be had about the intersection and interplay of swing planes and approach angles that we're not trying to have here.

All we're observing is that the Astros will have to find a way to get the ball higher in the air if they're going to exert maximum damage against the Braves rotation -- a rotation that, at least on paper, looks to be the better of the two staffs. If the Braves trio holds true to their regular season form, that's going to be a tough assignment.

Even if the Astros can launch off against the Braves' starters, there's a flip side worth considering.
