Morton will start Game 1 of the World Series against the Astros on Tuesday.
Morton lined up to start Game 7 of the NLCS versus the Dodgers on Sunday if necessary, but Atlanta took care of business in Game 6, allowing him to open the World Series on the mound. The veteran right-hander has a 3.77 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB across three starts (14.1 innings) this postseason.
