The stage is set for the 2024 World Series, and the excitement leading up to Game 1 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees is electrifying. This clash of two storied franchises promises a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat series from start to finish.
For the Dodgers, strategic offseason moves have paid off. After conquering the New York Mets, they now prepare for their 13th World Series appearance and fourth since 2017. A key offseason acquisition, Shohei Ohtani, has delivered at the plate and significantly impacted the Dodgers’ success this season.
The Yankees, fresh off their win over the Cleveland Guardians, are determined to secure their 28th championship title, their first since 2009. Leading the charge is Aaron Judge, known for stepping up in high-stakes moments, as shown by his four on-base appearances in the ALCS. With the 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole on the mound for Game 1, the Yankees are primed to field their strongest lineup.
As we eagerly await the first pitch on Friday, here’s a look at the bracket for this highly anticipated showdown.
