We picked the Dodgers to win the World Series.

As we checked our inbox, not only did we get an ear (or is it an eye?) from Yankees fans, but our West Coast correspondent Rob Mittlelholz, who bleeds Dodger Blue, wasn’t happy about it: “Damn, Stitches! That’s not funny. It’s such crap that stands between you and a Pulitzer. As I said in March (albeit with a little more confidence), the Dodgers are six games above the Yankees. But your curse doesn’t help.”

It would be helpful to know who won Game 1 when we look at Game 2, but this blind squirrel found some weirdos this fall.

Carlos Rodon and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are putting up similar postseason numbers.

Rodon allowed seven runs on 15 hits for 14¹/₃.

Yamamoto gave up seven runs on 11 hits for 12¹/₃.

While Rodon has twice as many Ks (12-11), the quality of the opponents (Padres and Mets) tells us to take Yamamoto and the Dodgers for $50.

Freddie Freeman!

With the score 3-2 in the bottom of the 10th and down to the last out, Freeman hit a great pepperoni!

Dodgers stole Game 1. Final 6-3.

Why you should trust New York Post Betting

The only Stitches has been a daily handicap in baseball for the Post since 2019. Miraculously, he was in the black twice. But wait, there’s more. He showed his versatility by winning the Post’s NFL Best Bet crown last year.
