Gerrit Cole will get the ball for Game 1 of the 2024 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed on Monday.
Oct 15, 2024; Bronx, New York, USA; New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole throws a pitch during the first inning against the Cleveland Guardians in game two of the ALCS for the 2024 MLB Playoffs at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Gerrit Cole will get the ball for Game 1 of the 2024 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed on Monday.
Consistency has eluded him this postseason, though. He was shaky in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Kansas City Royals, allowing four runs on seven hits in five innings of work with four strikeouts and two walks. In Game 4, he rebounded to play a key role in clinching the Yankees’ place in the ALCS, yielding a single run on six hits in seven innings.
He will face his toughest challenge in a loaded Los Angeles Dodgers lineup that scored 45 runs in six games against the New York Mets during the NLCS. Not only do they have the best player in the game in Shohei Ohtani, but they also have two other former MVPs in Mookie Betts and the hobbled Freddie Freeman, who is currently battling an ankle issue.
