What channels do I need to watch the World Series?
Just one. Every game of the World Series will be broadcast on Fox.
Can I watch in 4K?
You can. The Fox Now and Fox Sports app offer 4K streaming on a number of 4K devices from Apple, Roku and Amazon as well as on 4K TVs running Roku, Amazon Fire TV or Google's Android TV/Google TV software. If you are using these apps, you may need to log in to your cable provider to stream in the higher resolution.
Speaking of cable providers -- Comcast, Verizon, Optimum and Cox offer a 4K channel that should have the games. Satellite providers DirecTV and Dish should have a 4K feed as well.
If you're looking for a streaming service and don't have cable, you'll want to use FuboTV or YouTube TV. Note that for the latter you'll need to be subscribed to the 4K add-on.
