A World Series rematch kicks off this weekend, and the stars couldn’t be more aligned. Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani are once again putting up MVP-caliber numbers, with Ohtani leading the majors with 20 home runs and Judge right behind with 18 and a league-best 1.227 OPS.

The Yankees are surging—winners of 9 of their last 10 and 16-4 since May 6. After sweeping the Angels, they stay in Southern California to take on a Dodgers team that has cooled off significantly since its 8-0 start, going just 26-22 since.

New York’s pitching staff held the Angels to just three runs across three games, and now Max Fried (7-0, 1.29 ERA) gets the ball in a statement spot. The Dodgers counter with Tony Gonsolin (2-1, 4.68 ERA), who’s still finding his rhythm post-Tommy John surgery.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers bullpen is reeling. Injuries have piled up, and recently signed lefty Tanner Scott has allowed 4+ runs in two of his last five outings. As LA scrambles for answers in relief, New York is peaking at the right time.

With momentum, elite starting pitching, and a bit of revenge on their minds from last year’s World Series loss, the Yankees are in a prime position to strike first.
