Two of MLB's most storied franchises are facing off in the World Series. Find out why FOX Sports betting analyst Will Hill is backing the Boys in Blue to win it all.
After an exhilarating October of playoff baseball, the World Series begins Friday with another chapter in the storied rivalry between the Yankees and the Dodgers. The history, the tradition, iconic uniforms and superstars on both teams — what more could we possibly ask for as baseball fans? This will be the 12th all-time meeting between the Yankees and the Dodgers in the Fall Classic, and there will be a World Series-record five former MVPs between the two teams .
With all the star power on each side, we should be looking at an ultra-competitive series. The tiebreaker for me is the Yankees’ inability to get length from their starting pitchers. Through nine postseason games, the Yankees’ starters are averaging 4.8 innings per start. Against a ferocious lineup and with a bullpen that doesn’t have enough quality arms to compensate for short outings, I think the Dodgers' vicious lineup is what ultimately carries them to a series victory.
