My Prediction
New York Yankees by 2Ah, isn't October baseball just riveting? The action can't get any more intense than a Dodgers-Yankees World Series, folks. Game 5 promises to be a real humdinger, especially with Gerrit Cole on the mound for the Yanks. This postseason, Cole has been a succinct blend of precision and power, with an ERA of 2.85.
Altitude-based details aside, also worth mentioning are the hot Yankees bats. Are they serving up meatballs or home runs at the stadium in the Bronx? I'm not sure, but with players like Stanton and Soto swinging lumber, Dodgers' starter Flaherty might feel like he’s in a spaghetti western.
Speaking of Dodgers, they too have been cooking up some runs courtesy of Edman and Betts. Cooking runs.... maybe I'll copyright that phrase. What do you think?
Anyway, these teams have already tangled quite a bit recently. Their last disco dance resulted in an 11-4 victory for the pinstripes, but the Dodgers currently lead the series 3-1. It's about as even as my receding hairline. Slight edge to LA, but this isn't Hollywood. This is the Bronx, where runs fly out faster than my witticisms.
Taking into account the Yankees pitching advantage in the playground that is their home stadium, and considering the recent display of Dodgers base-trotting, the betting folks might get their pencils ready. I'm ready to call this one.
