The 2024 World Series is a heavyweight matchup that's sure to test the depth of both rosters. Here are five players who could swing the series in the Yankees' favor.
The Yankees have been involved in several close games this postseason. They've yet to be in a close series. That figures to change in the Fall Classic, as New York takes on the National League's top-seeded Los Angeles Dodgers. The heavyweight matchup is sure to test the depth of both rosters. Here are X-factors who could swing the 2024 World Series in the Yankees' favor. 1.
Dodgers' 5 biggest X-factors vs. Yankees in 2024 World Series Rodón registered an excellent outing sandwiched between two subpar starts this postseason. In the ALDS against the Royals, he was pulled after giving up four earned runs in just 3.2 innings. After six innings of one-run ball in his first start of the ALCS, he lasted just 4.2 innings in his second. Rodón noted how important the rest days were ahead of his first pitch in this series.
Yankees-Dodgers: Ranking the 24 best players of the 2024 World Series If he can, the Yankees look unbeatable with a lineup that boasts Juan Soto and Aaron Judge before Stanton even gets to the on-deck circle. There's been a lot of talk about Soto being the one that pushed the Yankees over the edge and into the Fall Classic, and in many ways, he has.
How Yankees, Dodgers should pitch to each other's stars: Smoltz's World Series preview We've seen how that enhanced plate approach has translated to this postseason; he's drawn just as many walks as Judge and Soto across nine games in the ALDS and ALCS. Torres' bat provides another key element to a Yankees offense that is already plenty lethal without him.
Who makes Yankees', Dodgers' all-time World Series starting lineups? Chisholm, however, has cooled off considerably at the plate. He's batting just .147 with a .481 OPS, two walks and two stolen bases this postseason. When he does get on base, he's still a menace on the basepaths. The Yankees don't necessarily need Chisholm to display the power he did when initially acquired from Miami.
