[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The 2018 World Series kicks off Tuesday night at Fenway Park when the Boston Red Sox receive Game 1 of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Boston is looking to start on the right foot in search of its fourth championship in the last 14 years, while the Dodgers want to end the drought of 3 decades without being champions.
Boston has had a more relaxed playoffs than its current rival, knocking the Yankees down 3 – 1 in the AL Division Series before beating defending champion Houston Astros in the Championship Series in five games. the American League.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers had to play their 163rd game to secure the NL West title before defeating the Atlanta Braves in the Division Series with a final score of 3-1. The Los Angeles team then won against the Milwaukee Brewers in a grueling 7-game series to return to the World Series for the second year in a row.
The visiting team, the Dodgers, will send Clayton Kershaw to the mound to open, but in front they will have another great left-handed player like Chris Sale. Kershaw closed the Championship Series with good numbers, during the regular season he had an average of 2.73 ERA and 5.34 of strikeouts on a per-ball basis. On the other hand, Sale had a 2.11 ERA and almost reached 7 in his strikeout average.
You have to consider that Sale suffered a stomach ailment during the games against the Astros, but it seems that he has recovered and is ready to start the World Series.
The Red Sox have been the MLB’s best team throughout the season, and they have not shown signs of slowing during this postseason. Recall that Boston has already defeated on the road two teams that won more than 100 games in the regular season.
Dodgers, on the other hand, come from more exhausting games and there were even moments that were doubted if they could reach this stage. We hope to see Mexican Julio Urias shine in the rest of the series and what better if he wins.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
