@Biscuiteater1

Thanks. They got to all but 1 guy, although kudos to the Cleveland bullpen, for challenging them, neither of them shied away from the big bats, they went: here is the best I got, try to hit it, and they did, that was the difference maker.

@lbcake

I don't think they will reach 2.20, given how big the Yankees fandom is I'd say they can counter, whatever dough may come from Japan. 

One interesting stat: this is the most common match-up in the postseason, it will be the 12th time these 2 teams play each other, Yankees lead 8-3. The last encounter was 43 years ago, 1981 WS, which was won by the Dodgers.

That was a typo. I've already bought at 2.10 (not 2.20). The Japanese thing was just me trying to be funny.

There can't be a more unified team than the Lions, maybe the Chiefs.

The only thing I can think about is home field advantage, otherwise the Yankees look better, especially pitching wise, mainly starting pitching. I'd say hitting both teams are quite equal, the difference being Yankees have more power, at least on paper, because Judge hasn't provided much of anything with his bat, until now. Based on this whole postseason, I'd say Cole is gonna be the key for the Yankees, IF he can provide strong outings they will win the WS. The Dodgers got to this WS relying heavily on the bullpen, they've won 2 games using solely their bullpen: game 4 in San Diego and last night game 6 in LA. I can see a similar outcome as in the Cleveland series, for the the Yankees, namely wearing down the Dodgers bullpen, as they did with the Guardians one. I'm not too optimistic about Cole though, he will be pitching on 10 days rest on Friday, and his stuff hasn't been encouraging, in his last 2 starts. The main problem with him is that when he misses, he gets absolutely destroyed, especially by HRs. Btw, the media is gonna have a blast with this series, the amount of drivel they are gonna spew will be nauseating...


Still waiting for Freddie Freeman to heat up. The Dodgers have been winning without much of a contribution from him. It took awhile for Ohtani to come alive too.

But, the Cardinals have been #19 in rush epa offensively, and 25th in rush success rate. So will the Cards be one dimensional tonight? Probably. Unless Murray can do it on his own in both departments.  I wrote my initial thoughts on this game in the newsletter short n sweet. "I respect the Chargers defense, but want to know how they've done against mobile qb's" I'm seeing 3 mobile qb's that they've played in Fields, Mahomes, and Nix. 1-2, giving up 17.66 ppg. Still pretty good on the defensive side. Fields got sacked twice, 6 rushes for 6 yards, 1 rush td. Mahomes got sacked 3 times, 5 rushes for 12 yards, no td's. Nix got sacked twice, 6 rushes for 61 yards, no td's.  Kyler Murray this year is averaging 8.7 yards per rush attempt, the highest in his career.  Anyone have a good angle in this game?


The Chargers last faced the Murray-led Cardinals on 11/27/2022. Against a much worse run defense, he rushed for 56 yards and 1 TD. His best WRs for the game were Hollywood Brown, DeAndre Hopkins, and Robbie Anderson. The Chargers were without Mike Williams, but Keenan Allen had a decent game (5/49/1). The Chargers Defense got to Murray once, with a sack. On the other hand, Herbert was sacked 4 times in that game. But the Chargers O-line has been much improved with a healthy Rashawn Slater and now Joe Alt securing the other bookend to the line.

It's a hard game to predict an outcome for because the Chargers secondary is banged up, but they have a much improved run defense. MHJ will be active for this game too. Interestingly, the Chargers my have to start Cam Hart, who locked up MHJ when he faced him in college (MHJ's stats for the game were 3 rec, 32 yards, 0 TD).

The last time both teams faced each other was a wild game, though. Here's a highlight reel of it.

I think I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this game.

@iConsciousness

Well, there is a reason for that, he has a sprained ankle. After the injury, in late September, the doctors said he would need 4-6 weeks to recover, but he played earlier? He didn't look good running the bases, at some points he was actually limping. He missed game 4 in San Diego, also sat games 4 and 6 against the Mets.

From what I'm seeing he should be available for game 1, we'll see if he can make an impact.

And on the injuries front, Boone said there is a good chance of Cortes making the WS roster, he will have another live session tomorrow. This could be huge for the Yankees, even in a limited capacity, 1-2 innings, having Cortes would mean that their pitching staff would be intact, same with the bullpen. It's obvious Yankees are the healthier team, pitching wise.

Ah, yes, I do know this. (I'm a Dodgers fan.) But they rushed him back nonetheless, and he's looked bad at the plate. Not sure if the ankle is hindering his stance and swing. I figured it's more of an issue on the bases.

 

They should have him come off the bench as a pinch hitter, and hit a game winning homerun, a la Kirk Gibson, so we can all watching him limp through the bases as he circles back to home plate.

Oh dude... I'm a Yankees fan, so I'd rather not see that an_roll_laugh

We shall see, which guy will leave a mark on this WS, the good thing is there a lot of guys, on both sides, who can win the WS for their team.

 I use 2020 to present. If you don't like that,give me another time frame. 

SU yes. But 12-7-2 ATS, which is what matters, pocket-wise.This ranks 3rd best behind Cleveland an_speechlessand Cincy.

As an away fav 13-10-1 (10th best).

They win but will they cover? To be or not to be.
