00:00A world series is now set in Major League Baseball. Two series clinching

00:09potentials on both Saturday and Sunday. We'll start with game number six in the

00:15NLCS last night at the Ravine between the Dodgers and the Mets in Los Angeles.

00:21The New York Mets triumphant on offense on Friday to extend this series and send

00:27it back to Los Angeles. But it was the Dodgers showing that dominance once

00:32again and everything that they can do at the dish. LA wins 10-5 in game

00:38number six to clinch that ticket to a World Series. The fourth National League

00:43pennant for the Dodgers in their last 12 years where they have made the

00:47postseason all 12 seasons. Shohei Otani in RBI. Mookie Betts a couple of RBI's.

00:54But Donnie, the story of the NLCS might have been Tommy Edmund at the dish. He

00:59had four RBI's yesterday and a two-run shot to really extend the Dodgers lead

01:04early. LA triumphant in game number six. Getting to Shabaniya. The Dodgers win

01:1010-5 to earn that berth in the 2024 World Series. It's pretty crazy the way

01:16it played out, right? You take a look at the Mets in the run. They get in that

01:19little doubleheader on a Monday to try to squeak into the playoffs. The Brewers

01:22aren't a great hitting team. The Phillies were absolutely horrendous at

01:25the plate. But then they ran into a team that can absolutely mash. It doesn't

01:28matter what pitcher you're putting out there. The Shabaniyas of the world. You're

01:31taking a look at other pitchers in that lineup that the Phillies would just be

01:34swinging and missing a ball six to eight inches off of the plate routinely. The

01:37Dodgers didn't do that. They made that pitching stand for the Mets pay. That's a

01:41great season for the Mets overall. But you just ran into a Dodgers team that

01:44was absolutely red hot. And also Ben, let's just think about the future of the

01:47Dodgers. So many times I think about like the Chiefs like last year. You better

01:50get the Chiefs now because they're only going to improve their team. The Chiefs

01:53did improve the team. They just got injured this year. But the reason I

01:56bring it up with the Dodgers is the Dodgers in a pivotal game six through a

02:00bullpen game against the New York Mets in the future, Ben, that's not going to

02:03happen. Let's just say you don't have every single starter on your staff go

02:06down with injury, right? Next year, when Charlie Latane comes back and pitches on

02:10the mound, you probably add another frontline starter here. That's not going

02:13to be the case. So the Dodgers making it to the World Series with a it's unfair

02:18to say a below average starting pitching staff, but quite frankly, a

02:20major league baseball, the way it played out, it really isn't good. But the fact

02:24that they're able to get to the series with basically a bullpen pitching their

02:28games and being dominant, I don't have any words for it. Yeah, I mean, DRS,

02:33you're correct, right? One of the big offseason acquisitions, Tyler Glass. Now

02:37he was their ace, not pitching in this postseason out for the remainder of the

02:42year. Yoshi Yamamoto has been okay. He has not been great. Jack Flaherty a

02:48little bit up and down as well. Michael Kopech got the start last night. It was

02:54good enough for the Dodgers to win a lot of offense in this series. By the way,

02:59all six games at its conclusion, at least eight runs. All six games do go

03:06over a year for the Mets. They will remember, of course, the grimace era, a

03:10Mets organization that turned it on from June 1st and beyond, but still just

03:16a little bit short when they needed to come up with it here in the National

03:20League Championship Series. But this was what was expected for Los Angeles, a

03:25team that had a huge offseason to get Shohei Otani, to get Yoshinobu

03:30Yamamoto, to acquire Tyler Glass now, to get Teoscar Hernandez, only to have

03:35Tommy Hedman, a trade deadline acquisition when National League

03:40Championship Series MVP. We'll show you that in just a moment. But DRS, before

03:46we get to how this World Series is going to look, let's get to how it came

03:51together. The Yankees in game number five in Cleveland on Saturday night.

03:55Send it to extras Giancarlo Stanton answers with a two run shot after the

04:00Yanks trail to nothing for a majority of the game. So then we go to the 10th

04:06inning. Juan Soto, an absolute three run blast for the pinstripes in the 10th.

04:13The Yankees win in extras five to two to earn their first American League pennant

04:18since 2009. The Yankees knock off the Guardians in five games, four games to

04:24one to head back to the World Series for the first time since 2009, which was

04:29their last World Series championship.

04:32And on both sides, right? National League and American League talented rise to the

04:35occasion here with the Dodgers over the Mets and talented rise to the occasion

04:39with the New York Yankees over the Cleveland Guardians. That was supposed to

04:41happen here. And you do lean on some of your better players. Gleyber Torres was

04:44very good so far in the playoff run, hitting 297. Take a look at Juan Soto,

04:48333 and amazing like Aaron Judge at 161. And you're still dispatching of teams in

04:53the ALCS in a four to one fashion without your MVP performing here. That's

04:58incredible. Now, yes, he did have some important swings here. Did it equate to

05:01victories? Not necessarily because that crazy game that the Cleveland Guardians

05:04won, which was the only win of the series. I thought the Yankees would get

05:08here. The Yankees are equipped enough to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers. But I

05:12think as baseball fans, I'm a Phillies fan, right? And Mets fans probably upset

05:15this morning that 13 got knocked out. But baseball is such a big win here. All

05:19you ask for East Coast Monster City, West Coast Monster City, the biggest of

05:25biggest Titan superstars on both sides here to mammoth fan bases. The entire

05:29country can buy into this one. It's gonna be great to watch it play out.

05:33Baseball is the big winner after those two outcomes in the ALCS in the NLCS. I

05:38mean, no doubt about it. D. R. S. These are two of the iconic brands in

05:42baseball to the most storied franchises in all of sports. And again, when you

05:48talk about how these series came to a head and what has been happening in

05:51this postseason for the Yanks offensively, it hasn't been Aaron

05:55Judge wants Soto pretty good in the ALCS has gotten on base a ton, but it's

06:01really been Giancarlo Stanton as that offensive driver for this pinstripes

06:06club. He has been great in his postseason history in delivering once

06:11again on Saturday night. He won ALCS MVP. Not overly shocking. 8 to 1 was

06:18his price behind Judge in Soto and J. Ram Jose Ramirez for Cleveland for

06:24home runs in the ALCS in huge spots each and every time seven R. B. I. S.

06:31Tommy Edmond was 100 to 1 to 10 to 1 rather, whatever that price is a large

06:37number for Tommy Edmond to win the NLCS MVP. It is 100 to 1, right? I'm reading

06:44that correct. Anyway, so yeah, yeah, it's tough, you know, doing it on the

06:49fly. Math, mental math is difficult. Time for the 21st shortest price to

06:54win the NLCS MVP. But the guy bat five or four oh seven. He was 11 or 27 in

07:00this series, had multiple base knocks in four of six games, one home run,

07:06which he had in game number 6 11 R. B. I. S. This was a guy who had not

07:10played all year for ST Louis was acquired at the deadline along with

07:15Michael Kovac, by the way, who did start or at least opened game number

07:19six and delivers for the Dodgers. It's almost unthinkable. And yet he sends L.

07:25A. To the World Series and Giancarlo Stanton, the key ingredient ingredient

07:30for New York to play the World Series after 15 years once again. It's

07:35unbelievable. It really is. And you see some of these times you have these

07:37great stories late. We're talking about not a season like, Hey, you're

07:41gonna grade you on 1 62. You get graded on these MVPs based on 56 or seven

07:45games. However fast you clinch that series here and Tommy Edmond. And it

07:49wasn't as if bands like, Hey, man, he was awesome out of the eight hole. He

07:52backed cleanup last night, two for five last night, four R. B. I. Including a

07:56home run. Man's stories just write themselves at this point, and we're

07:59setting up for a big time World Series. Can Edmond continue? Is he going to

08:03back cleanup in the World Series? It's just a wild story that you never could

08:07have told me. You're right. 10 to 101, 1001. That price is so big, like,

08:10didn't even have odds to start the series. Would it be a better question?

08:14I mean, shout out to our producer extraordinaire Joe Friezo for even

08:18tracking that number. I'm surprised it was even listed. So it's the Yankees

08:24and the Dodgers in the World Series for the 12th time ever. The first since

08:291981 between these storied and iconic franchises. Of course, they met a ton

08:35back in the day. The Yanks have won eight World Series against the Dodgers

08:39in the 11 previous meetings, but it's the Dodgers favored to win this World

08:45Series. Minus 1 28 is the outright price. Game number one at Chavez Ravine

08:51in downtown L. A. On Friday night, the Dodgers a game one favorite at minus

08:551 30.

08:57It's great, and I can't wait to watch it play out of Friday. That is the

09:00perfect start for the series. Let the tension build between the two cities

09:03here. I think we're expected to have a nice long. I don't expect this to be

09:08closed at five, which means we'll get a great World Series of betting and fun

09:12to recap it and certainly preview it. No doubt about it. Minus 200 to the over

09:17of 5.5 total games.
