Why you should support the Dodgers

With Ohtani at the helm, Los Angeles has perhaps the most dangerous lineup in the league. Midfielder Tommy Edman has gotten hot in the postseason. Edman has impressive pitch recognition skills and the ability to get on base. In the 2024 MLB Playoffs, the 29-year-old is 8-of-24 (.333) with eight singles and four runs driven in. In Game 2, Edman went 3 of 4 with two RBI.

Shortstop Mookie Betts is an athletic playmaker for the Dodgers. Betts’ swing is compact, with quick hands and plenty of power. The 32-year-old posted a .289 batting average with 19 home runs and 75 RBI in the regular season. He has finished with a hit in three of the seven postseason trips in 2024. In Game 1, Betts was 1 of 4 with three runs driven in. See which team you should choose here.

Why you should support the Mets

First baseman Pete Alonso is a monster hitter. Thanks to his effortless swing and power, Alonso is able to get the ball to any part of the field. This postseason, the 29-year-old has three home runs, six RBI and six runs scored. In Game 2 he went 1-4 with a base hit.

Third baseman Mark Vientos was great for the Mets in the playoffs. Vientos has an easy swing to create consistent contact and accumulation hits. The 24-year-old ranks first on the team in batting average (.378), RBI (11) and hits (14). In his last game, Vientos went 2-of-5 with two hits and a grand slam.
