This season is arguably one of the best seasons MLB has possibly seen. From Shohei Ohtani’s heroics, the epic 50-50 club getting inaugurated to Aaron Judge’s stellar hits. And now, the two best players from the biggest franchise head to head for the World Series. This season sure has given MLB fans much to be excited about. In fact, did you know the postseason TV ratings that were at an all-time low went up by 20% this time?

There is one more aspect that has kept the OG fans hooked. It is the expert discussions, fun banter, and predictions by the former Yankee legends Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. Now, the friends-turned-rivals have become friends again, and, are analysts for FOX. However, even though they aren’t competing on the mound, the competition of who ‘predicts’ the best seems to be on. Jeter sure is leading, but Rodriguez got one right.

Alex Rodriguez’ bold prediction for Yankees ages like fine wine

Derek Jeter owns the postseason; the man is called Mr. November for a reason. Hence, it was no surprise that he predicted plenty of what was to come. Whether it’s the time when he warned the Yankees not to depend solely on Judge or the outcome won’t be great and that coming true, or when the 5x World Series champion predicted that Pete Alonso could save the day for the Mets. And Alonso, doing so the next game—Jeter sure has that eye, but he hasn’t been right always, This time, Alex Rodriguez seems to have gotten the bulls-eye.

Alex Rodriguez has proven that he, too, like Captain Clutch, can make accurate predictions. When asked about who would make it to the World Series, Jeter mentioned it was going to be the Philadelphia Phillies and the Baltimore Orioles; right after which Alex Rodriguez said, “Not so fast, captain. Yankees in seven over the Dodgers.” This statement has aged beautifully – while the journey wasn’t easy, each team made it through to the next chapter.

The LA Dodgers and New York Yankees are indeed headed to the World Series, and while Jeter might not have got this prediction right as Rodriguez, he is more than thrilled to see how this pans out -a ‘dream series’, as he now famously puts it.

Yankees powerhouse trio tops MLB’s hitter rankings!

The World Series is now just days away, and MLB has finally released the highly anticipated hitter power rankings. It features some of the best hitters in baseball, and this year the Yankees are dominating the list, but Dodgers stars are sure not far behind. Mookie Betts, who stands out with his postseason line of .295/.404/.659, is in the #5 position, driving in 12 RBIs and hitting four homers post-regular season too. Coming in hot at #4 is Giancarlo Stanton; he smashed five home runs with 11 RBIs postseason. His barrel rate is 21.1—which shows how powerful his contact is.

Aaron Judge is sitting at #3, and the New York Yankee captain has been a force to be reckoned with this season with 58 long balls. And at #2 is, of course, Shohei Ohtani, the LA Dodger’s star who has been stellar this postseason, his first with a.434 OBP and 28 RBIs. But topping them all is Yankee’s star – Juan Soto. Soto has been on fire this season; he has .333/.439/.667 line and 1.106 OPS this postseason. While Judge struggled postseason, he was able to come in to help during those clutch situations – now, he is the biggest threat to LA!

The games will indeed be exciting as this is also the first time we will see five MVPs in one series: Ohtani, Judge, Betts, Freeman, and Stanton, all own an award, and are eyeing the ring this time. So, who do you think will be more of a threat at the very first game of the World Series? Let us know in the comments.
