2024 World Series Preview: Dodgers vs. Yankees โ A Rivalry Renewed
The stage is set for one of the most anticipated World Series matchups in recent history: the Los Angeles Dodgers versus the New York Yankees. These two storied franchises boast some of the deepest histories in baseball, and when they meet, it's always a marquee event. This is the first time theyโve squared off in the Fall Classic since 1981, rekindling a rivalry that has spanned decades and multiple generations of baseball fans.
Historic Rivalry
The Yankees and Dodgers have met 11 times in the World Series, more than any other two teams in MLB history. The rivalry was born in the early 20th century when the Dodgers were based in Brooklyn, just a subway ride away from the Bronx. From 1941 to 1956, they clashed six times, with the Yankees dominating that era, winning five of those six series.
In 1955, the Brooklyn Dodgers finally broke through, winning their first-ever championship by defeating the Yankees. After the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958, the rivalry continued, with the teams meeting in the World Series in 1963, 1977, 1978, and 1981. The Dodgers claimed their first Los Angeles-based title in 1963 with a sweep over the Yankees, and they triumphed again in 1981 behind the heroics of Fernando Valenzuela and Ron Ceyโ
Now, in 2024, both teams are looking to add to their legacy. The Yankees are seeking their 28th championship, their first since 2009, while the Dodgers are eyeing their 8th titleโbut only their second since 1988. Both franchises have spent lavishly to assemble their current rosters, making this matchup a battle not just of history but of modern baseball superpowersโ
Key Storylines
The Superstars: This series will feature some of the biggest names in baseball. For the Yankees, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto headline the lineup, with Gerrit Cole anchoring the rotation. The Dodgers counter with Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freemanโa roster that matches New Yorkโs star power on every level.
Pitching Showdowns: Game 1 will set the tone with Gerrit Cole facing off against Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Yankeesโ rotation has been their backbone in the postseason, while the Dodgers have had to overcome injuries, relying heavily on their bullpen. Coleโs dominance gives the Yankees an edge in starting pitching, but the Dodgersโ ability to mix and match with their arms will keep the series close.
Historic Stakes: The Yankees are chasing their 28th World Series title, while the Dodgers, despite numerous playoff appearances, are seeking redemption after winning only one full-season title in the last three decades (in 1988). Both teams have felt the weight of expectations for years, and for the Dodgers, itโs about proving they can win in a season that doesnโt have a pandemic-related asteriskโ.
Game 1: Gerrit Cole (NYY) vs. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (LAD)
Date: Friday, October 25
Location: Yankee Stadium
The Yankees will send their ace, Gerrit Cole, to the mound for Game 1. Cole has been dominant in the postseason, showcasing why heโs in the Cy Young conversation. On the other side, the Dodgers counter with their Japanese phenom, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who had an incredible regular season but has faced some challenges in his first MLB postseason.โ
โPrediction: Yankees win 4-2. Cole outduels Yamamoto, and the Yankees' power hittersโAaron Judge and Juan Sotoโget to the Dodgers' bullpen early.
Game 2: Carlos Rodรณn (NYY) vs. Jack Flaherty (LAD)
Date: Saturday, October 26
Location: Yankee Stadium
Carlos Rodรณn has been streaky but has the potential to deliver a dominant performance. Jack Flaherty, who had an up-and-down NLCS, needs to provide length to keep the Dodgers' bullpen fresh. The Dodgersโ offense, led by Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, should rebound after a quiet Game 1โ
Prediction: Dodgers win 5-3. Ohtani delivers a key two-run double, and the Dodgers even the series.
Game 3: Walker Buehler (LAD) vs. Clarke Schmidt (NYY)
Date: Monday, October 28
Location: Dodger Stadium
Walker Buehler is known for his postseason composure and experience, while Clarke Schmidt has been a solid if unspectacular, third starter for the Yankees. Playing at Dodger Stadium will give the Dodgers' hitters a boost, and Betts will look to capitalize on the short porches.
Prediction: Dodgers win 6-4. Betts homers, and Buehler gives the Dodgers seven strong innings.
Game 4: Bullpen Game (LAD) vs. Luis Gil (NYY)
Date: Tuesday, October 29
Location: Dodger Stadium
The Dodgers will likely opt for a bullpen game, leveraging their deep bullpen against a Yankees team that can struggle with an inconsistent offense outside of their big stars. Luis Gil, the Yankees' No. 4 starter, will try to keep New York in the game. With the series hanging in the balance, expect both bullpens to be heavily involved.โ
Prediction: Yankees win 3-2 (11 innings). Aaron Judge delivers a walk-off hit in extra innings, tying the series 2-2.
Game 5: Gerrit Cole (NYY) vs. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (LAD)
Date: Wednesday, October 30
Location: Dodger Stadium
In a rematch of Game 1, Cole once again takes on Yamamoto. The pressure will be on both aces to deliver, but Cole has been consistently excellent in these moments, while Yamamoto has had some shaky postseason starts.
Prediction: Yankees win 5-1. Cole pitches eight innings of one-run ball, and Juan Soto hits a two-run homer to give the Yankees a 3-2 series lead.
Game 6: Carlos Rodรณn (NYY) vs. Jack Flaherty (LAD)
Date: Friday, November 1
Location: Yankee Stadium
Back in New York, the Yankees have the opportunity to close out the series at home. Rodรณn, while inconsistent, has shown flashes of dominance, while Flaherty will need to bounce back from his Game 2 loss. Expect the atmosphere at Yankee Stadium to be electric as the Yankees look to end their 15-year championship drought.
Prediction: Yankees win 4-3. Giancarlo Stanton hits the go-ahead homer in the 7th inning, and the Yankees bullpen closes it out, securing their 28th World Series title.
Series MVP: Gerrit Cole
Cole will dominate in his two starts, going 2-0 with a sub-1.50 ERA, including a critical Game 5 victory to set up the Yankeesโ series win.
Final Prediction:
The New York Yankees will win the World Series in six games, capturing their first championship since 2009. Behind Gerrit Coleโs brilliance and clutch performances from Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Giancarlo Stanton, the Yankees will outlast the Dodgers in a hard-fought seriesโ
