Dodgers in 6. Ohtani continues to rake at a historic mind-boggling level and their pitching is surprisingly good. Can really see them thriving at home. Judge a so-so series, Soto a very good series, but surprisingly Yankees don't hit enough. If Cole craps out tonight, they are in deep quickly.

That's how I see it.
Dodgers in six is exactly what I've been telling people. The way I see it, LA has a slight advantage in pitching and a substantial advantage in hitting. The managers are about equal - both are prone to dumb in-game decisions IMO.

I expect Ohtani to shine on the biggest stage.

And to think, some people in the country think Philly sports fans are just obnoxious nasty cranks.

The Yankees had a 3.74 ERA in the regular season (110 ERA+); the Dodgers, 3.90 and 99 respectively. Additionally, two of the Dodgers' top starters in the regular season, Stone and Glasnow, are injured. The Dodgers do have better batting, but in my opinion their pitching is substantially inferior.

I'm hoping for Yankees in seven. I think the two teams are essentially even - both had Pythagorean win-losses of 96-66 in the regular season - so we'll just see what happens.

Seven games of incredible baseball would be optimal.

Judge is in an untimely slump.

Yankees just fumbled a key win away. They are in trouble.

I don't think they had walked a batter until the 10th. Walks are always the undoing of a team, it seems.

Why? Ohtani has basically had no impact in the series and precious little in the playoffs. It's his left shoulder and certainly not career threatening or anything crazy

Zombie runners came into play which tarnishes the whole game. In hockey they still play post season games out to the end. Why can't they do so in baseball as well?

Moreover there was no dramatic play at the plate to decide the game. Home run trots are boring.

There were no zombie runners tonight. That's a regular season rule.

An extra inning walk off home run, after some small(ish) ball to get the tying run across in the eighth? Two intentional walks in high leverage situations. One worked well (Soto for Judge), while the other did not (Betts for Freeman).

I dunno, you must have a very high bar if that wasn't good enough for you!

I dunno, first walk off grand slam in World Series history seems pretty historic to me.

Tell me you didn't watch (or listen) to the game without saying you didn't watch (or listen) to the game.

Try watching the game next time eh?

You sound like a moron when you don't watch and then comment.

Go drink another Molson eh?
