New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 10/25/24, 10:41 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 10/25/24 at 11:10 AM in MLB Picks

The most anticipated World Series in recent years will begin in Game 1 at Dodger Stadium and the scheduled pitchers are Flaherty for the Dodgers and Cole for the Yankees.

This 7-game final series is a game between two franchises with more than a century of history and the first and second largest budgets in the MLB.

Both franchises have something to prove since the Yankees have not been champions since 2009, while the Dodgers won, but the 2020 season where there was a pandemic and it was played under very different circumstances.

On the way to the World Series, it could be argued that the Yankees had an easy path by not crossing paths with the Orioles or Astros, but it was also thanks to Stanton's spectacular postseason of 5 HRs, and the timely HRs of Judge and Soto. Even so, they did not hit more than the Dodgers on their way to the World Series, who in 5 of the 6 games against the Mets scored 8 or more runs. They also shut out the Padres twice and the Mets once in a remarkable performance by the Bullpen.

Ohtani is the man in the spotlight after the 50-50 season, the Japanese does not tire of making history and is not afraid in the big moments, as for example was seen in the WBC. This postseason he batted first in the order confident that the one who comes behind, Mokie Betts, has responded in the best way so far to the challenge.
