The Dodgers are exposing the Yankees in every way in one-sided World Series

The Yankees person a elemental problem successful this World Series. Everything they do well, nan Dodgers do amended — power, patience, pitching. 

And past location is truthful overmuch nan Yankees do not do well, from moving nan bases to executing connected defense, astatine which Los Angeles besides excels. 

Heck, nan Dodgers moreover person nan advantage successful areas for illustration nan measurement louder location crowd, deeper chair and acold superior waste and acquisition deadline. 

It sounds for illustration a mismatch, and truthful acold nan 120th World Series is conscionable that. The Yankees waited 15 years to play successful nan World Series and pinch each passing game, it was for illustration they were ne'er moreover here. We will person to nonstop successful a CSI unit to hunt for fingerprints and DNA astatine this point. 

Game 1 was a classical that nan Yankees squandered from their defense to Aaron Boone’s determination making. And since Freddie Freeman’s expansive slam decided that 1 successful nan 10th inning, nan Yankees person not had a lead and person been lifeless connected offense. 

Clarke Schmidt followed Carlos Rodon’s lead by quickly creating a deficit from which nan Yankees could not extract themselves Monday night, particularly pinch Aaron Judge continuing to return an October wrecking shot to his bequest and nan bottommost half of nan lineup persisting arsenic a conveyor loop of automatic outs. 

The last was 4-2 and dropped nan Yankees into a three-games-to-none deficit. 

At this point, possibly you tin person personification dumb aliases dumber that nan Yankees person a chance because erstwhile successful 40 tries erstwhile a squad trailed 0-3, it did travel backmost to triumph a postseason series. That was nan 2004 Red Sox, whose comeback against nan Yankees was fueled by a Game 4 stolen guidelines by existent Dodgers head Dave Roberts. 

The problem is that David Ortiz is connected nan section doing Fox’s pre- and post-game shows, not successful a Yankee lineup that complete nan past 18 innings has 4 runs connected 9 hits — 5 of which person travel from Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton. 

In nan first World Series crippled played successful The Bronx since Nov. 4, 2009, Freeman’s 3rd homer successful 3 games — a two-run changeable 3 batters into Game 3 — beautiful overmuch locked up his World Series MVP and tuned retired a crowd of 49,368, that already was much anxious than vociferous. 

The Yankees unrecorded by nan homer. It is simply a spot that covers truthful galore of their blemishes. But Freeman has tied nan Yankees, 3-3, successful homers — and nan Yanks’ 3rd homer was by Alex Verdugo pinch 2 outs successful nan ninth to cosmetically make this crippled look closer. The Dodgers person outhomered nan Yanks, 5-3. Another spot is drafting walks. But it was Los Angeles turning its first 2 walks into runs. Shohei Ohtani, playing somewhat gingerly 48 hours aft — successful nan Dodgers study — dislocating his shoulder, walked to lead disconnected nan crippled and came location connected Freeman’s homer disconnected Schmidt. 

Schmidt walked Tommy Edman connected 4 pitches to unfastened nan third, was moving connected nan transportation and took 2nd connected Ohtani’s groundout and did what excessively fewer Yankees do — sewage a awesome publication instantly that Mookie Betts’ looper to correct was going to autumn and scored easily. Gavin Lux stole a guidelines successful nan sixth inning to position himself to people connected Enrique Hernandez’s azygous for a 4-0 lead. 

Meanwhile, nan Yanks are nan worst baserunning squad successful nan majors. Stanton, who has deed for illustration Babe Ruth this month, still runs arsenic if he is carrying nan weight of nan franchise. He hardly made 2nd for what should person been an easy double pinch 1 retired successful nan 4th and was thrown retired astatine nan sheet by near fielder Teoscar Hernandez aft Anthony Volpe’s two-out single. Stanton’s was nan Yankees’ only extra-base hit, Volpe their lone pinch a runner successful scoring position until Verdugo’s homer successful nan ninth inning. 

Schmidt lasted conscionable 2 ²/₃ innings pinch 3 runs against aft Rodon managed 3 ¹/₃ innings successful Game 2 pinch 4 runs. Thus, nan expected Yankee rotation separator has not manifested. That Dodger starter weakness has, done Jack Flaherty, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Walker Buehler, held nan Yankees to 3 runs successful 16 ²/₃ innings. Flaherty, Edman and Michael Kopech — deadline acquisitions — person each impacted this World Series. 

Judge, nan astir captious Yankee, has not. He went 0-for-3 pinch an eighth-inning locomotion to autumn to 1-for-12 pinch 7 strikeouts successful this World Series, 6-for-43 (.140) this postseason and 42-for-214 (.196) successful his playoff career. Judge has nary hits successful his past 2 World Series games and nan Yanks are 17-34 (postseason included) erstwhile Judge does not person a deed successful a game. 

The 2 MVPs do not glimmer rather nan aforesaid pinch that history. The Yankees often spell arsenic Judge does — and Judge has gone bad successful October. It has continued into a World Series successful which nan Dodgers person unplugged him and really nan full Yankee discourtesy — and pinch it a crowd that waited 15 years for this game. 

The Dodgers are outplaying nan Yankees successful each way. Three-games-to-none feels right.
