Game Preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers took a dramatic Game 1 of the World Series against the New York Yankees, winning 6-3 on Freddie Freeman’s historic walk-off grand slam—the first in Series history. The blast off Yankees’ lefty Nestor Cortes came just one out away from a Yankees win, giving the Dodgers an early edge in the Series and momentum as they look to bring a 2-0 lead to New York.

Freeman, who has battled through injuries and personal challenges, said he feels ready for Game 2 after resting a badly sprained ankle. The Dodgers will start Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who impressed in his first season with a 7-2 record and a 3.00 ERA, despite a lengthy injury absence. The right-hander pitched seven scoreless innings against the Yankees in June, giving him a confidence boost heading into Saturday.

For the Yankees, Giancarlo Stanton’s go-ahead homer in the sixth and a late run from Jazz Chisholm Jr. weren’t enough to secure Game 1. New York looks to rebound with Carlos Rodon, who went 16-9 with a 3.96 ERA in the regular season. Rodon is 1-1 with a 4.40 ERA in the postseason and has a career ERA of 4.50 against the Dodgers.

Game 2 brings high-stakes potential for bettors, with Freeman’s hot bat and Yamamoto’s June outing against the Yankees shaping up as factors. Can the Dodgers keep rolling, or will Rodon lead the Yankees to even the Series?
