The Freddie Freeman experience continued Monday Night as the Dodgers’ 1st baseman homered again to lead LA to a 4-2 victory and a commanding 3-0 Series lead against the Yankees.
Shohei Ohtani walked to start the game and one out later Freeman put another ball over the wall in right to stake the Dodgers to an early lead against Clarke Schmidt. Los Angeles would add single runs in the 3rd and 6th innings to build a 4-run lead. That was more than enough for Dodgers’ starter Walker Buehler who was exceptional throwing 5 innings of 2-hit shutout ball. Six relievers worked the final 4 innings for LA with Michael Kopech surrendering a 2-run home run to Alex Verdugo in the bottom of the 9th to provide the final margin of 4-2.
The Dodgers (-2000) now stand on the brink of a World Series title while the Yankees (+1000) seek to extend their season at least one more day. It will be a bullpen game for Los Angeles while New York will send Luis Gil to the mound. Unless you truly believe the Yankees are about to reel off 4 straight wins, those odds to win the Series are not playable. However, lets dive into Game 4 and find an angle or two.

Probable starting pitchers for Los Angeles @ New York – World Series Game 4
● Tuesday’s pitching matchup (October 29): TBD vs. Luis Gil
○ Dodgers: TBD – last night the Dodgers threw six relievers at the Yankees and the expectation should be for at least that many to pitch this evening. The majority of their bullpen’s top arms are rested but none are expected to pitch more than an inning or two max.
○ Yankees: Gil (0-0, 4.50 ERA) – only postseason appearance of 2024 was a start in the ALCS against Cleveland in which he lasted 4 innings giving up 3 earned runs on 3 hits while striking out 3. Has proven his stuff can be dominant, but can he meet the moment?
