The Dodgers and Yankees renew their long-time rivalry on Friday night in game one of the 2024 World Series. I'm going to lean toward the Yankees in game one thanks to the pitching matchup. Yankees' ace Gerrit Cole has truly pitched like an ace on the road this season. In his last two road starts, he's gone 16 innings and allowed eight hits and two runs while striking out 11 with just one walk. Dodgers starter Flaherty is coming off a rough outing against the Mets, unable to get out of the fourth inning and allowing eight runs. Flaherty is also carrying his second-highest ERA in the last 30 days compared with any month this season. I'm going with Cole to get the job done on Friday night. Take the Yankees with the money line.
