The Los Angeles Dodgers, the champion of the National League, beat the New York Yankees, the champion of the American League, in Game 1 and Game 2 of the 2024 World Series of the U.S. Major League Baseball. It garnered two wins in the best-of-seven series, and is thus close to winning the World Series title. However, it is not over yet. The World Series showdown 43 years ago saw a come-from-behind drama unfold. In addition, the aftermath of Shohei Ohtani's injury, the center of the Dodgers, is emerging as a variable.
The Dodgers has made strides to win this year's World Series. It has garnered two consecutive wins at home. After a close game in overtime at the first game on Wednesday (in Korean time), it came from behind to win 6-3, thanks to Freddie Freeman's walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 10th inning. In the second game on Monday, the Dodgers won 4-2, banking on Yoshinobu Yamamoto's good pitching of 6.1 innings, one hit, one homer, two walks, four strikeouts, and one run.
It has garnered two consecutive wins, but it is too early to feel safe. We need to play well in the third, fourth and fifth games of away games. I recall a lesson learned from the 1981 World Series when the team had a showdown with the Yankees. Back then, the Dodgers lost the first and second games in away games. Amid silence from its batters, the team was trailing 3-5 and 0-3. The team started counterattacking from the third game at its home. In the third game, the team won the game 5-4 by banking on Fernando Valenzuela's good pitching. The team also won the fourth game (8-7), and the fifth game (2-1), turning the game around. In three consecutive games, the team reported a one-point lead, and secured the World Series title by clinching the away game of the sixth game 9-2.
On the contrary, the Yankees are vowing to avenge the 1981 World Series. They are paying attention to a part where this year's World Series coincidentally is completely the opposite of 43 years ago. They lost the first and second games on the road, but if they make a turnaround in the three games they are scheduled at home, they will be able to see a turnaround. Aaron Judge, the clean home run king who has remained silent with a batting average of only 0.150 in this fall baseball, is desperately hoping for a come-from-behind victory.
Another variable is Ohtani's injury. Ohtani sustained a dislocated left shoulder while stealing in the second game. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he has been quiet about Ohtani's injury, but is encouraged to play in World Series games afterward. However, the situation is different if Ohtani's physical condition is not normal, which will take place for a thorough inspection on Friday. The Dodgers' batting lineup, which Ohtani is missing, will inevitably lose weight. 안전놀이터
Dodgers and Yankees advanced to the postseason as the No. 1 seed by posting the best performances in the National League and the American League this season. As many fans wished, Dodgers and Yankees settled in the World Series, losing their power even at the fall festival. Now, the dream World Series is nearing a halfway point. Attention is focusing on whether Dodgers, which has won two games first, will solidify its position or Yankees will announce the beginning of its counterattack on Tuesday.
