The New York Yankees led by Aaron Judge will take on Los Angeles Dodgers feat. Shohei Ohtani in the 2024 World Series in a historic match between the two star studded and storied franchise. Indeed, the anticipation surrounding the series is high amongst the fans of both the cities.
Having said that, the anticipation is majorly due to the appearance of two biggest faces in MLB i.e Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. Both sluggers are more or less confirmed to win AL and NL MVP respectively. But the one who takes the ring will be celebrated a little more than the other.
Aaron Judge-Shohei Ohtani Duo To Star In World Series
The 2024 World Series is set to be a historic showdown as two of Major League Baseball’s biggest superstars, Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, prepare to clash. What makes this World Series particularly special is that Judge and Ohtani will become the first 50-home-run duo to ever face off in the Fall Classic. The Yankee captain finished the 2024 regular season with an MLB-leading 58 home runs. Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani, in his first season with the Dodgers, hammered 54 home runs with a historic 50/50 as well. Hence, the presence of both players, each coming off career-defining seasons, has fans buzzing about the significance of this matchup.
That being said, the Aaron Judge-Shohei Ohtani rivalry has captivated the baseball world for years, particularly since the 2022 season when Judge shattered the all-time single-season home run record with 62 blasts, while Ohtani continued to showcase his unparalleled combination of elite hitting and pitching skills. That year, Judge won the AL MVP award, with Ohtani finishing second. Hence, this year’s World Series presents an opportunity for both players to further enhance their legacies. Judge is once again a frontrunner for the AL MVP, while Ohtani is in prime position to secure the NL MVP. Interestingly, if either player leads their team to a championship, they would join an elite group of players who have won both the MVP and the World Series in the same season. Overall, the Yankees-Dodgers rivalry is one of the most storied in sports, and the addition of these two biggest stars only adds to the drama.
Dodgers Asked To Be Wary Of Yankees Fire Lineup
As the 2024 World Series approaches, MLB analysts are buzzing about the formidable New York Yankees lineup, which is anchored by a trio of power hitters: Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Giancarlo Stanton. Tim Kurkjian recently said, “There are three guys in their lineup that are so devastatingly good right now. The Dodgers will have their hands full.”
For the Dodgers, containing this trio will be crucial if they hope to secure the championship. Facing Aaron Judge, Soto, and Stanton in a best-of-seven series is no easy task, and if all three hitters are locked in at the plate, the Dodgers will indeed have their hands full. Indeed, a historic contest is on the way.
