Why you should back the Dodgers

Shortstop Mookie Betts is an electric offensive weapon for the Dodgers. Betts has great plate awareness and bat speed that allows him to spray the ball around the yard. In the 2024 postseason, he leads the team in home runs (4) and RBI (13). In his last game, Betts went 2-of-4 with two base hits and one run scored. He's notched two-plus hits in five outings this postseason. 

Center fielder Tommy Edman is an instinctive playmaker who has stepped up in the postseason. Edman makes consistent contact at the plate and has great range as a defender. He ranks first on the team in playoff batting average (.365) and hits (19) with 13 RBI and two homers. The 29-year-old has logged a hit in five straight games.  See which team to pick here.

Why you should back the Yankees

The Yankees need their offense to wake up and will be looking toward designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton. He's one of the strongest hitters in the game with light-tower power to hit any ball out of the yard. The 34-year-old leads the team in home runs (6) and RBI (14). Stanton has recorded a home run in four of his last five playoff games. 

Right fielder Juan Soto owns a smooth left-handed swing to make contact. Soto has soft hands but quick hips to turn on pitches in a flash. He leads the team in batting average (.350), OBP (.460) and hits (14). Additionally, Soto has four home runs and nine RBI this postseason. In Game 2, Soto went 2-of-4 with a solo homer. See which team to pick here.
