Someone explain this to me like I’m 5. I get the individual game odds easy (Dodgers are 1.5 run favorites to win game 1). The series odds are confusing
October 21, 20241 yr Just now, Helobious said: Please see below If it was 50/50 odds both teams would be -105 on most books. They have LAD favored just a bit - something like 55/45 in their favor.

October 21, 20241 yr Oh because the fucking Yankees and Dodgers play one WS the MLB is broken and unfair? Cry me a fucking river. Rangers '23 - 4th in total payroll (but $96M was injured - DeGrom didn't do anything - Scherzer barely did) Astros '22 - 8th ATL '21 - 10th LAD '20 - 1st but a fucky COVID season WAS '19 - 7th BOS '18 - 1st HOU '17 - 17th CHC '16 - 5th KC '15 - 13th SF '14 - 7th Average - 7.3 Yeah - newsflash - your owners need to not be a bunch of cheap fucks- but only 4 out of the last 10 spent in the top 5 - one of those was an asterisk season. You still generally need to spend money on the right players, fill out the roster with talent that has come up through the system, and have a competent coaching staff.
October 21, 20241 yr I understand why most would scoff at the narrative of the Yankees being plucky underdogs, but that’s exactly what they are here. Just a team that’s gotten to where they are by playing solid all-around baseball and having some underrated guys step up
October 21, 20241 yr There is nothing plucky about the New York Yankees. They're supposed to be in the World Series every year. They've been underachieving for fifteen years.

October 22, 20241 yr Really going to be critical that Freddie gets healthy. When he did play in the NLCS he wasn’t right (or the DS for that matter). We are going to need production from him. We can’t count on an Edman or Kike to contribute at the level they did in the CS. We’re re going to need our stars to carry it. Our starting pitching is going to be an adventure. We’re going to need to out slug them. Sure we had a great shutout stretch, but we’ve also had some blowup starts. I’m not banking a rotation of Yamamoto, Flaherty, Buehler and a bullpen game is going to go toe to toe with the Yankees starters.
October 22, 20241 yr I got dodgers 4-2 AL isn’t as good as years past compared to the NL. I think Cole is gonna get teed off on on game 1.

Mariano Rivera isn’t walking through that door. I think if Soto has a big series then the Yanks win. If the Dodgers pen comes up big they win. I am not real confident in Judge becoming a pressure performer like Soto or even like Stanton in the last series. I would like to hope he flips a switch, but you can’t count on him at the moment to produce. Hopefully returning to SoCal will be good for him and Stanton. The Dodgers are a fun team. I went to a game there years ago and had a great time. If they win it I’d be happy for them, especially so because of the imbecile “WAR guys” who said Ohtani would not be worth what he is getting paid. He is just an incredible once-in-a-lifetime talent that baseball has never seen before. He makes the game fun. I hope there are more Japanese players in the pipeline that come over with more regularity in the future.

Not really giving any earth shattering stuff here, but we all know the Yankees have better revenue streams than anyone in the league. Hal treats this team at times like he owns the Pirates. If he doesn’t pony up whatever amount of money Soto asks for he should be dropped off in the South Bronx at 2am on a Friday night. For the record I think he will pay whatever the cost is, but it will not be an easy negotiation if he takes part in it.
October 24, 20241 yr I'm just glad it isn't the obnoxiousness of the shitty Subway Series bullshit all over again. Fuck that shit.

Way to maintain momentum and excitement with the inflexible playoff schedule, MLB. They actually did introduce a flexible schedule for the World Series start. their worst case scenario came true though and they missed that alternate start kicking in by one game. Had the dodgers won game 5 on 10/18, the series would have started this past Tuesday and we’d be looking at game 3 in New York tonight. but yeah, I would be interested to see what the logistics would like to start the World Series, say, 2 days after the completion of the last LCS. I’d really be surprised if you lose that much on the corporate sponsorship side if you told all of your potential partners that’s what you are going to do. Edited October 25, 20241 yr by UTexasFight

October 25, 20241 yr If the Dodgers lose this series then they will have just shit down their legs once again. Which wouldn't shock me, but they should destroy the Yankees in 4 or 5.
