The 2024 World Series is shaping up to be a historic matchup as the Los Angeles Dodgers took a decisive 3-0 lead against the New York Yankees after their 4-2 victory at Yankee Stadium. If the Dodgers win one more game, they will achieve a World Series sweep for the first time in over a decade, the last being the San Francisco Giants’ four-game triumph over the Detroit Tigers in 2012.
The Yankees now face an uphill battle, needing to make history as no team has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit to win the World Series. This prospect adds drama to the series, with the Dodgers on the brink of clinching their second championship in five years, following their 2020 victory in a shortened season.
Excitement builds for Game 4, set for Tuesday, October 29, at Yankee Stadium, with first pitch scheduled for 5:08 p.m. PT. The Yankees will feature Luis Gil as their starting pitcher, who has limited postseason experience but performed well during the regular season. The Dodgers are expected to implement a bullpen strategy for this crucial game, making for a competitive matchup.
The World Series can be watched on Fox, with streaming options available through FoxSports.com and the Fox Sports app. Fans are urged to mark their calendars for the potential continuation of the series, which could extend to Game 5 on October 30, Game 6 on November 1, and, if necessary, Game 7 on November 2.
Historically, the Dodgers are poised to become the 22nd team to sweep the World Series. The struggle ahead for the Yankees mirrors the 2004 Boston Red Sox, who famously overcame a 3-0 playoff deficit but faltered in their World Series pursuit. As the Dodgers inch closer to victory, they also chase their 2020 title, with their last full-season championship dating back to 1988.
This thrilling showdown not only captures baseball fans’ attention but also showcases the spirit of competition. Regardless of the outcome, both teams have a storied history, and the play during the upcoming games promises to be intense and exciting. The possibility of a historic sweep adds an extra layer of anticipation to the remaining games.
