PREVIEW
The Yankees and Dodgers face off in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night at Dodger Stadium, kicking off what promises to be a must-watch series between the top seeds from each league.
The Yankees, fresh off series wins over the Royals and Guardians, look to end a 15-year title drought. Gerrit Cole (3.41 ERA) will start for New York, having led the Yankees to wins in each of his three postseason starts.
The Dodgers reached the World Series by defeating the Padres and Mets, leaning heavily on their powerful lineup. Jack Flaherty (3.17 ERA) gets the nod for Los Angeles, though his recent playoff performances have been inconsistent, including an eight-run outing against the Mets.
Aaron Judge leads the Yankees’ charge, coming off a 58-homer season and postseason MVP contention, though he has struggled with a .161 batting average in the playoffs. New York’s offense also features Giancarlo Stanton, with five postseason home runs, and Juan Soto, who has been batting .333.
The Dodgers counter with Shohei Ohtani, fresh off a historic 50-50 season, along with postseason standout Mookie Betts, who leads the team with 12 RBIs.
While the Dodgers aim to secure their first non-COVID title since 1988, both teams boast explosive offenses, setting the stage for an entertaining showdown in Los Angeles.
