Despite all the hype, this hasn’t been much of a competition, especially since Freddie Freeman’s grand-slam. Indeed, of the 18 innings played since then, the Yankees have trailed at the end of seventeen and been tied in just one. All told, of the 28 innings, they have led at the end of just two - the sixth and seventh in Game One. If the Dodgers complete the sweep tonight, it’ll be the first in the World Series since 2012, and if the Yankees lose by more than three, the run differential will be the worst in a World Series sweep since the Red Sox mauled the Rockies in 2007.
