conclusion of the League Championships Series round on October 22 (or
earlier). Entrants can make their selections and predictions until 3pm
EDT/Noon PDT on October 24, prior to Game 1 of the World Series.
Entrants taking advantage of the pre-registration period will be
notified by e-mailonce the World Series matchup is set and selections
and predictions can be made.
"We're excited to give fans a chance to win $1 million through this

had a blast interacting on Infield Chatter so far this season, and we
are pumped to be able to bring fans this incredible challenge for the
postseason. Anyone eligible to participate should get on Infield Chatter
and register because taking home the $1 million prize would be
life-changing!"
