The World Series is set to kick off between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers, featuring the league’s most high-profile markets and brightest stars in the game. Despite the Yankees being underdogs to win it all, the Dodgers are favored due to their dominant performances in October. The betting odds predict a six-game affair, with many MVP contenders from both teams.
Shohei Ohtani is the favorite for World Series MVP, with Aaron Judge also a strong contender. However, Giancarlo Stanton, with his impressive postseason performance, is not far behind in the race for MVP. There are also player props available for the series, with Ohtani favored to be the first to homer, and Stanton favored to end with the most homers.
For those interested in pitching stats, Carlos Rodón leads in postseason strikeouts, while the saves race is tight between Luke Weaver and Blake Treinen. A fun name to watch is Tommy Edman, who has been performing well in the postseason and is a dark horse for stolen bases and RBIs.
The World Series promises to be an exciting clash of titans, with plenty of opportunities for fans and bettors to get in on the action. With star-studded rosters and intense competition, this series is sure to be one for the history books.
