    NY Yankees +105 (Series) LA Dodgers
    The baseball gods handed Rob Manfred a gift.
    This WS has more megastar power since, well the time Reggie Jackson and that NYY team beat the Dodgers in 1977.
    Game six of that series is one of the most memorable ever.

    Fast forward to 1:08
    Charlie Hough tosses a knuckleball to Reggie that forgot to knuckle, and Jackson launches this titanic 500 foot (475 ft. actually) that's still orbiting Uranus even as we speak.



    1977 World Series Game 6, Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Yankees: October 18, 1977 | Baseball-Reference.com

    Like I mentioned, the baseball gods handed Rob Manfred a gift.
    The two biggest markets LA and NYC, Ohtani, Freeman, Mookie, Soto, Judge...
    This WS is going to be a ratings bonanza, an ATM for everybody involved.
    MLB, NYY, LAD, the networks, the advertisers everybody should be making beau coup money off of this.
    Manfred better not muck this up.
    Manfred's biggest problem (and he has a ton of problems) is he thinks he doesn't have to market MLB.
    (But that's another story for another day)

    OK, enough of the hyperbole, let's get down to it.

    Pitching and defense usually wins, and that's the reasoning behind this wager.
    The Yankees bullpen is demonstrability better than the Dodgers pen, and NYY starters are better than the LAD starters, both team defenses are good, slight edge NYY, and on offense Stanton is doing Stanton things again like he was in Miami. Stanton has always rolled out of bed crushing curveballs, as he crushed KC's playoff dreams by smashing Ragan's and Lugo's elite curves, something Soto and Judge had trouble with.

    I trust Cole a little more than I trust Flaherty tonight in Game 1.
    As a matter of fact, Flaherty's last six games (his least three regular season games and first three post season games) five of those starts have been brutal, the only start that was solid was against the NYM, and the Mets made up for that by hammering Flats for eight earned runs his next start.

    Pay attention to Game 1 tonight.

    IF, if, NY can jump Flaherty early tonight and force Roberts to go to his bullpen (which is not great) that'll spell trouble for LA in game two, reason being LA's Game 2 starter is Yamamoto, he's a five and fly starter who hasn't seen the sixth inning in four and half months (6/7) point being LA is going to need at least three, and maybe four innings from the bullpen tomorrow and that 'pen is not deep.

    I can do these hypotheticals all day (I can hear the SBR community now "Please don't Nasher, you're killing me here")
    So, I'll make a long story short, which I am not capable of doing.


    NYY +105 over LAD to win the World Series.

    Not bad Nasher. Boy oh boy the NYY are in for a fight to earn it thought. If any team it would be them.

            Great preview Nasher - MLB got their dream matchup for sure. The Yanks' stars showed up big time against Cleveland, can they rise up again?

            Enjoy fellas

              Dream match up. Agree with the great write up. I think it's a plus that NY has to start away also. Get away from NY and all that you have to deal with at home. If NY loses game one they won't have to deal with the home crowed getting down.

                          NEVER talk early. I thought you might know that.

                              Well we all knew that but the Dodgers have too much of everything though. It's one game though and the Yankees will answer. Roberts is just as dumb.

                                    Probably because according to NYY quants, Betts was 2.59% more likely to get a walk or a base hit, in comparison to Freeman. Simple as that.

                                      I'm big on analytics and sabermetrics, but I'm also old school, I was a catcher for twelve years, I was taught the game from hard-core old-school baseball men.

                                      The point I'm trying to make is there are situations that no matter what 'the book' says if the manager feels differently, he should play his gut feeling.

                                        Freeman HR was not fair. This is a 50/50 series through and through. +360 isn't a gift but nice value

                                          That HR is all on Boone.
                                          Time for NYY to make a managerial change.

                                            Most especially in a 7-game series, throw out the analytics even.

                                            This is not the marathon of a regular season.

                                                  Judge can't hit a curve, Soto either.
                                                  Stanton can.

                                                    Freeman’s grand slam destroyed the spirits of the Yankees. It reminds me of what Kirk Gibson’s walk off HR did to the A’s. They never recovered.

                                                      Well Arod singlehandedly carried the yanks to a world series so obviously not him.

                                                        The point I'm trying to make is there are situations that no matter what 'the book' says if the manager feels differently, he should play his gut feeling.
                                                        ~~~

                                                        This makes perfect sense.

                                                              Yes.

                                                              Dodgers start a reliever, Ben Casparius.
                                                              The kid grew up ten miles from here, Westport Ct.
                                                              He was Connecticut HS player, Casparious played at Staples HS in Westport.
                                                              He's the best HS player we've had since Matt Harvey, unlike Harvey, Casparius has no 'excess baggage'.
