This years MLB World Series is a battle of East versus West. From L.A to Boston the Dodgers will head to Fenway to start this year’s World Series. Both teams will send their true aces to start game 1. Kershaw and Sale are both in competition for the title of the best pitcher in the MLB. Both teams are packed with heavy hitters. MVP candidate Mookie Betts leads the Red Sox with the help of J.D Martinez, Andrew Benintendi and red hot Jackie Bradley Jr. The Dodgers are led by newly acquired Manny Machado, Justin Turner and the energy filled Yasiel Puig.
SPORTS COLLECTIBLES HOT TAKES:
The L.A Dodgers will take this World Series in a 7 game Battle that will end Boston. The teams will split the first 2 games in Boston behind a strong start from Kershaw as he proves that he can pitch under the bright lights but then drop the second game of the series. As the teams head to L.A, the Dodgers will take 2 out of 3 at home. With a 3-2 lead going back to Boston for games 6 and 7 then Boston will take the first and then Dodgers will take game 7 in a high scoring battle ending with a Kershaw save.
MVP PREDICTION
We believe that Mookie Betts has a top World Series Performance but since we believe the Dodgers win in 7 games he cannot win MVP. Our runner up for World Series MVP is Justin Turner. His composure and presence in the middle of that lineup provides balance and is never an easy out. He also has a strong glove and a veteran presence. Our MVP prediction is none other than Clayton Kershaw. Stat predictions for this World Series include 2 wins, 1 save and an ERA under 2 for this ace.
