The fears of this year’s World Series between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks becoming the least-viewed Fall Classic in TV history are becoming a reality.

Games 2 and 3 are the least-watched on record, according to Nielsen. Monday’s 3–1 victory by the Rangers averaged 8.13 million viewers on Fox. Saturday’s 9–1 Diamondbacks win averaged 8.15 million.
