Sometimes you can tell how a series is gonna go from the first at-bat. For Game 1 of the 2024 World Series, you knew how this was gonna go when Dodger 1B Freddie Freeman crushed a first pitch fastball into the right field bleachers of Dodger Stadium for a grand slam. The series could have and really should have ended up being a sweep for the Dodgers, but manager Dave Roberts’ questionable pitching decisions in Game 4 don’t matter anymore. They came back to win Game 5 in New York after being down 5-0 going into the 5th inning to win their 8th World Series title in franchise history.
