The sports world is really up and running at the moment. We’re smack in the middle of another thrilling NFL season, the NHL and NBA have started their seasons, the Champions League is bringing us world class football and thunderous kicks and punches dictates who’s walking out of the UFC 308 octagon with a belt.
Epic World Series Showdown
That’s all exciting but perhaps the most attention goes to the highly anticipated World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. New York against Hollywood. East Coast vs West Coast. An epic showdown between Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge awaits and while ticket prices are skyrocketing, fans across the world can’t wait for the first game tomorrow night.
Let’s begin this week’s picks at Dodger Stadium!
MLB World Series
1) MLB World Series – Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Yankees Game 1
The starting pitchers for Game 1 have been announced and Jack Flaherty and Gerrit Cole will have the honors and the opportunity to give their respective teams that oh so important first win. Getting off to a good start is important and while the Dodgers are hoping the adrenaline from the fans will help them get it, Aaron Judge and the pinstripes want nothing more than to ruin the party.
Both teams are stacked with offensive standouts coming off of impressive performances during their respective League Championship Series.
The two best hitters in the league
Dodgers to Win
Across the board, the Dodgers are the slight favorites to get off to a 1-0 series start. Not only that, but they are also expected to win it all in 6 games. Is it a lock? Far from it, but I do believe they will pull it off in the end.
As always during the World Series, there is a for sports bettors to take a swing at. Who will win the MVP? Will Shohei hit more home runs than Judge? Who will score the most runs? The odds might not agree with me but Mookie Betts has been on fire lately and I believe he will have another great series.

The Chiefs made a huge trade yesterday
2) NFL – Week 8
The NFL roller coaster continues and we’re entering week 8 of the season. Even though they’re not playing that well and with some big names on the IR, the Chiefs are the only undefeated team after 7 weeks. With the surprising new addition of DeAndre Hopkins, Pat Mahomes will have even more options to get the job done and it’s going to be interesting to see which version of DHop they’re getting.
This latest move should open up things for Travis Kelce, who’s been facing double coverage all year.
We’ve seen Derrick Henry putting on a clinic for the Ravens so far, turning them into a serious contender. Detroit took care of the Vikings last week, showing last season was not a fluke.
There are some exciting match ups to look forward to this week and here are my 6 picks.
