Rays. Better team imo. Pitching depth. And I just don't trust the Dodgers

3rd time the charm for the Dodgers. Rooting for the Rays but the Dodgers will take this.

It's the LA/TB 2020 tiebreaker.

Each city has won one title in 2020 to go along with the KC Chiefs.

Whoever wins will claim the sports fall double dip soccer derby style.

Sadly, Dodgers in 4 or 5

Dodgers in 5 - love that TB make it back to the Fall Classic but giving up that 3-0 lead made them look super vulnerable. I'd also love to see Mookie win WS MVP, just to see the Globe writers in Boston eat their words.

Dodgers winning would also make a nice ending to the inevitable 30 for 30 about the Roberts era. Otherwise, were looking at the Four Falls of Buffalo MLB edition.

Feels like Dodgers in 6

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Don't care as long as it goes 7 with multiple walk offs.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This is probably the Dodgers year

I like Dodgers lineup alot more then Rays and I like Dodger SP and bullpen more then Rays

Dodgers in 6

How is Joe Buck gonna call World Series if he's calling the Bills/Chiefs game right now?

The WS is tomorrow

The WS is tomorrow

I get that but thats a short turnaround.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I get that but thats a short turnaround.

He’s done both an NFL game and and MLB game in one day before. I think it was when the 49ers and the Giants had home games on that same day.

I'm a Dodgers fan but I don't think our bullpen really stacks up with the Rays. Agree with the rest though.

 

[Islay1989]

Over-under on Kershaw's ERA?

Should be a good series. I went with Dodgers in 6.

Rays have the best bullpen in baseball. Their starters would be rated higher if Cash didn't go to the bullpen so soon.

Dodgers in 7.

 

[Prominence Problem]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Dodgers in 4.

They feel like a team of Destiny now that they've knocked off Atlanta. The whole LA do-it-for-Kobe mentality is something I wouldn't bet against right now. Their hitters are hot, they are playing out of their mind defense. The bullpen is solid. As long as their starters can be competent (I'm looking at you playoff Kershaw) then I think this will be no contest. The way Tampa almost blew a three nothing lead to Houston worries me.

I really doubt the Dodgers are playing for Kobe, c’mon man.

 

[Prominence Problem]

I really doubt the Dodgers are playing for Kobe, c’mon man.

I would think the whole city is finding inspiration from Kobe these days.

IIRC, didn't Bellinger say something the other day about how they are playing for Kobe right now? Or at least bring a championship back to the city?
