In the latest development of the MLB offseason, the intense competition between New York’s two biggest baseball franchises heats up as both the New York Mets and the New York Yankees pursue superstar free-agent outfielder Juan Soto. 

Roki Sasaki, one of Japan’s top pitching talents and currently ranked third on The Athletic’s free-agent giant board, is on the brink of his long-anticipated jump to Major League Baseball. With MLB Lines closely following his every move, Sasaki’s posting by the Chiba Lotte Marines has officially made him available to MLB teams, opening up a highly competitive sweepstakes for his services.

On this day, two crucial games occurred in the American and National League Championship Series. Review the MLB Lines and the best bets identified for both contests.

The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their second World Series title in four years with a comeback Game 5 win, edging out the New York Yankees, 7-6, at Yankee Stadium. Despite challenges, the Dodgers' relentless attack paid off, marking another peak in what many now call the team’s new “golden era.” 

The 2024 World Series continues Wednesday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers (98-64) and New York Yankees (94-68) square off in Game 5. The Dodgers dominated the early games, winning the first two at home and following up with a 4-2 victory in Game 3 at Yankee Stadium.
