How do the Yankees and Dodgers stack up? A World Series tale of the tape

The Hollywood Walk of Fame won’t have anything on the number of stars that will take the field when the New York Yankees face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series starting Friday at Dodger Stadium. It’ll be Shohei Ohtani vs. Aaron Judge, Mookie Betts vs. Juan Soto and Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Gerrit Cole. Hernández was acquired for October, and it shows — he had a.654 OPS in the regular season and has an.863 OPS with five runs batted in in October despite not becoming a regular until the Dodgers’ fourth playoff game. Shortstop: Anthony Volpe vs. Tommy Edman Volpe, last year’s AL Gold Glove winner, has been disappointing with the bat over his first two regular seasons in the major leagues.
