Part 9/17:
The World Series kicks off this Friday, pitting the powerful Los Angeles Dodgers against the upstart Toronto Blue Jays. The series promises star power, especially Shohei Ohtani and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., but many analysts argue that the outcome hinges not solely on individual brilliance but on margins of excellence and strategic matchups.
The strategy against the Dodgers emphasizes controlling Mookie Betts, a catalyst for LA’s offense. The approach involves making sure Betts is not on base or involved in rally-building situations, thereby diminishing Dodgers' offensive consistency. On the other side, the Blue Jays’ lineup boasts potent hitters like George Springer and Bo Bichette, which could challenge the Dodgers’ pitching rotation.
