A world Series rematch between the two most dominant teams over the last two seasons has lost some shine with both teams facing injuries from major pieces of their success. Neither GM is one to make excuses though.
The season series was 6 to 2 advantage Matawan. This means nothing now. These two teams will be fighting for history. While Matawan looks to repeat, Chicago looks to win their 2nd title in 3 years.
Matawn sp corps has been depleted but Mksiorowski and Gray each have had amazing seasons and are the backbone of Matawans success this season. Chicago has some of the best sp in recent MLB history in Sale, Degrom , Wheeler amd Scherzer. Both squads should expect solid efforts on the bump.
Matawans offense has been streaky this season AND in the playoffs while Chicago's has been more consistent.
No Ohtani might be the difference here. Chicago in 7 to get revenge for last years World Series. Another "one for the ages"
