Mets and Dodgers clash in a battle of big market teams
In a dream matchup for Major League Baseball, the miracle Mets will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in a series that promises to be one of the most-watched NLCS of all time. The Dodgers are box office, with three MVPs in their lineup Mookie Beets, Freddie Freeman, and the great Shohei Ohtani. Their weaknesses so far this season have been injuries, with their pitching ravaged by injuries so far this season, making it a major question mark going into this series with the Mets. The Mets come into the series as the hottest team left in the playoffs, riding an incredible wave of momentum from numerous come-from-behind wins within the last few weeks (and Grimace.) This series will come down to if the Dodgers pitching can hold up as it did at the end of their comeback series win vs the Padres, holding them to 24 consecutive scoreless innings.
The Gritty Tigs Go Down
The Detroit Tigers quickly became America’s team after taking out the evil empire of Houston Astros in the first round of the playoffs. The Tigers were 8 games under .500 with a 55-63 record on August 11th, Since then, the Detroit Tigers had the best record in baseball at 31-13. Unfortunately, their Cinderella run ended in Cleveland in the ALDS, losing in the final game, game 5. While the Tigers inspirational run is over, the 2024 Tigers will live on in baseball fans' hearts, and on MLB The Show!
Possible Subway Series World Series Looms
The New York Yankees will have to get past the Cleveland Guardians before making the 2024 World Series, and the underdog Mets will have to take down the Dodgers, However, a Mets and Yankees world series is for sure something that Major League Baseball is rooting for, as it will draw arguably the most ratings in the history of Major League Baseball due to the unique rivalry of the Subway Series. While a Mets-Yankees world series would be the biggest, you can argue that a Dodgers-Yankees world series would be just as big due to involving the massive LA fanbase as well as the Dodgers historic franchise, from a rating perspective, as long as the Guardians don't beat the Yankees, the 2024 World Series promises to be one of the largest ever.
