Halloween night was a treat for Los Angeles Dodger fans, and a trick for Houston Astros faithful. The Dodgers won Game 6 of the World Series Tuesday at Dodger Stadium, forcing the ultimate contest in Major League Baseball, a little winner-take-all contest we like to call Game 7.

This is the second straight World Series with a Game 7,  the third World Series Game 7 in the last four years, and the fourth in the last seven years, CBS Sports pointed out.

Fans (and sports sites) on Twitter were a little bit excited.

Astros pitcher Lance McCullers is literally already warming up.

And now the real question: Who's gonna win?

Some love LA.

Some think Houston won't have a problem.

Some just think you shouldn't bet on whoever retired slugger David Ortiz is picking.

And good luck getting tickets.

Game 7 will be Wednesday night in LA. Play ball!
