Mr. October?
There’s definitely a new Mr. October as Freeman became the third player to homer in the first three games of a World Series joining the likes of New York Yankees right fielder Hank Bauer in 1958 and San Francisco Giants left fielder Barry Bonds in 2002. It doesn’t end there with the records. Freeman tied George Springer record of homering in five straight World Series games. That streaks goes back to when Freeman was on the Atlanta Braves and hit home runs in his last two games against the Houston Astros in the 2021 World Series.
Without a doubt this is a historical post season for the native Southern Californian. Who’s making a very strong case for World Series MVP. According to ESPN Bet Freeman’s odds of winning the MVP award is at -110. But in order to not have a epic post season meltdown the team has to continue to be focus and Freeman knows it. “We know what’s at stake Tuesday,” Freeman said. “We have got a chance to be champions and we know their guys, they have got nothing to lose and they are going to do everything they can.”
Will the Yankees or Dodgers win the first game of the World Series?
