Local experts are making predictions about the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees, who will face off in the World Series for the first time in 43 years.

CBS Sports surveyed six reporters on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time) and found that the two teams received three support equally.

Reporter RJ Anderson, who expected the Yankees to win, said 'The Yankees have an advantage in rotation, so they can win a safer championship. We might exaggerate the whole thing, but the Dodgers are definitely going to play a bullpen game and the results were good. However, when it feels like a coin toss, it's okay to set a safe team as the default, he said.



On the other hand, reporter Matt Snyder, who expected the Dodgers to win, said, `The Dodgers are exhausted in their rotation, but they will show their momentum to finish everything now and find every way to win.' Both teams have destructive batters and have a lot of resources on the moundI think Juss is a little better on the offensive side. Freddie Freeman is the key.

Overall, the Yankees are expected to dominate the mound and the Dodgers are expected to dominate the lineup.



What will be the reaction of local gamblers in the U.S..

The winning dividend rate suggested by ESPN BET on the day is -125 for the Dodgers and +105 for the Yankees. If you bet $100 on winning the Dodgers, you will get $80 back, including the amount of bets, and if you bet $100 on winning the Yankees, you will get $205. The lower the dividend rate, the higher the chance of winning. This means that gamblers see the Dodgers win even more.



BetMGM offers dividends as Dodgers -130, Yankees +110, FanDuel offers Dodgers -135, Yankees +115, and Caesars Sportsbook offers Dodgers -130 and Yankees +110. All gambling companies predict the Dodgers' dominance with similar figures.

The probability of winning the World Series, suggested by the statistics site FanGraphs, was also 52.7 percent for the Dodgers, 5.7 percentage points higher than 47.3 percent for the Yankees. However, the gap narrowed from 6.2 percentage points the previous day.
