The 2024 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees begins with Game 1 on Friday and one Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher is weighing in.
On Thursday, Randy Johnson spoke to “The Pat McAfee Show” about the “Fall Classic” matchup and who he’s favoring as this season’s champion.
“I just think the Dodgers have the same offense as the Yankees, maybe even more so,” he said. “I think they have a little bit more pitching depth in the starting rotation and in the bullpen … I would have to lean towards the Dodgers.”
Johnson noted he didn’t “want to rile up Yankee fans too much,” adding he believes New York will win Game 1 on Friday with ace Gerrit Cole on the mound.
The 2001 World Series co-MVP said he could relate to what Cole and his fellow starting pitchers probably feel entering the biggest games of their lives, describing his own experience and mindset.
