The 2015 regular season starts on April 5 and ends on October 4th. In comparison, in 2014 the season started on March 30th and ends on Sept. 28th (excluding the overseas opening games played in Australia).
Assuming the same post-season schedule setup in 2015 as 2014, then next year the World Series will start on Oct. 27th. The seventh game would be played on Nov. 4th.
MLB could have avoided that by simply starting the 2015 regular season a week earlier: season opens Mar. 29th; ends Sept. 27th; World Series opens Oct. 20th; seventh game on Oct. 28th.
For whatever reason MLB decided it did not want to open the 2015 season in March.
