The 2023 World Series will see the Los Angeles Dodgers face off against the New York Yankees for the first time since 1981, marking their 12th overall meeting in the Fall Classic. This matchup features the best teams from each league, promising a thrilling series filled with star power and historical significance.
Among bold predictions, one suggests a player will hit three home runs against three different pitchers in a single game, reminiscent of Reggie Jackson's iconic performance in 1977. Another prediction anticipates a starter completing eight innings, a feat not achieved since 2019.
With both teams showcasing disciplined lineups, a record number of walks could be on the horizon, surpassing the previous record set in the 1997 World Series. Additionally, it's predicted that one of the 'Big Six' players—Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Juan Soto, or Giancarlo Stanton—will not win the World Series MVP.
Finally, there's speculation that a starter may throw the final pitch of the series, a departure from recent trends where relief pitchers have closed out the last games. The anticipation builds for what promises to be an unforgettable World Series.
