The New York Yankees have their backs against the wall on Tuesday in New York, as the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to complete a World Series sweep — the first since 2012 — and capture a second title under manager Dave Roberts. It has been a dismal series for the Yankees’ biggest bat, with Aaron Judge batting just .083 over the first three games of this series, going 1-for-12 with seven strikeouts. He isn’t the only Yankee struggling; the Bronx Bombers are batting just .186 as a team in the series, though both Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto are swinging the bat well.
If you’re a Dodgers fan, Game 4 of the Freddie Freeman Show could be a crowning Los Angeles achievement for the former Atlanta star, who is just the third player to hit home runs in the first three games of a World Series, joining Hank Bauer (1958 Yankees) and Barry Bonds (2002 Giants) — and he added another one in the first inning of Game 4, making him the first player ever to homer in the first four games of a World Series. Freeman has actually homered in his past six World Series games, dating to his 2021 World Series win with the Braves.
Luis Gil (1-0, 4.50 ERA, 4.0 IP, 3 K, 3 BB in 2024 postseason) is on the mound for the Yankees with the season on the line, while the Dodgers are giving the ball to Ben Casparius (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 4.1 IP, 4 K, 2 BB).

Let’s remember where the Dodgers were on Oct. 8
The Dodgers lost Game 3 of the NLDS to the division-rival San Diego Padres to fall behind 2-1. Walker Buehler and Jack Flaherty had both allowed at least four runs in their losses. Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. was mocking Dodgers fans. Dave Roberts inspired more mockery by respondng angrily to Manny Machado tossing a ball at him.
Since then, the Dodgers have gone 9-2 while outscoring the Padres, Mets and Yankees 70-29. Their lineup has been a torture chamber, their bullpen has stepped up, and the trio of Buehler, Flaherty and Yoshinobu Yamamoto have all looked good this series. So much has been made about the Dodgers’ talent, but it took a near 180 to get them to this point.
