The World Series has commenced. West coast versus east coast. New York versus Los Angeles. And NY pinstripes and LA blue came out swinging. But when all was said and done, the Dodgers take game one in the 2024 World Series.
These two teams are very equally matched. They both have several power hitters facing off against each other. On Yankees side there is Juan Soto and Aaron Judge. Judge actually hit the most home runs during the 2024 regular season (58).
And over on the Dodgers side there is Mookie Betts, Teoscar Hernandez as well as the extremely reliable Freddie Freeman. Plus of course, cannot leave out Mr. 50/50 club, Shohei Ohtani. Shohei finished just behind Aaron Judge this season in terms of dingers. He hit a total of 54.
Well in game one, the home run made its appearance in the postseason yet again. There was no scores for the first four innings. However, in the fifth, the Dodgers finally got on the board thanks to a sac fly; going up 1-0. But the lead would not last long.
In the sixth New York flexed their bats. Giancarlo Stanton hit a 2-run homer putting the Yankees on top, 2-1. Now the boys in stripes just needed to hold onto to their slight lead in order to take the first game.
