After acquiring Mookie Betts and David Erice from the Red Sox, the Dodgers have an even scarier team than last year when they won 105 games. Across the country, the Yankees added Gerrit Cole to their starting staff and they believe he’s the missing piece they needed to finally get over the hump.
MLB.com recently ranked its World Series favorites from one to thirty and placed the Yankees first. The Dodgers were right behind them at number two. It’s clear that both teams sit at the top of both of their respective leagues.
The Steamer, which provides statistical projections for every major league player, ranks only one Yankee and one Dodger in the top ten in terms of wRC+ for the upcoming season.
