Here is my prediction for the 2018 World Series.
(N2) Los Angeles Dodgers vs (A1) Boston Red Sox: FOX couldn't be happier with this matchup as ratings will be through the roof with two of the premier franchises in the sport. The Dodgers pose a very good lineup when their clicking led by Manny Machado, NLCS MVP Cody Bellinger, Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp, Justin Turner and Max Muncy. The Red Sox lineup has been the best in the sport all season long led by Mookie Betts, Andrew Benintendi, JD Martinez, and Xander Bogaerts. The Dodgers rotation has two of the three best starters in the series with Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler and behind them are Hy-Jun Riu and Rich Hill. The Red Sox rotation has been solid in the postseason led by Chris Sale, David Price, Nathan Eovaldi, and Rick Porcello. The Dodgers bullpen has been solid in the postseason led by closer Kenley Jansen, Pedro Baez, Ryan Madson, Julio Urias, and starters Kenta Maeda and Alex Wood had some moments as well out of the pen. The Sox pen has exceeded expectations throughout the playoffs with the likes of Joe Kelly, Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier, and Porcello and Eovaldi have seen time out of the pen. Closer Craig Kimbrel meanwhile has struggled in the playoffs. That said, this is the Sox year and everything is going right for them right now as they'll win their fourth World Championship this century.
Prediction: Red Sox in six games.
World Series MVP: JD Martinez.
