As the American and National League championship series ends, the World Series matchup is set.
The New York Yankees of the American League will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers of the National League.
The first game will begin on Friday at Dodger Stadium as the Dodgers have home field advantage.
Legendary Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto has revealed his prediction for who will win the World Series.
“My prediction is I think the Dodgers with home field advantage will win this one,” Votto said.
.@JoeyVotto: loves #Dodgers–#yankees matchup because he thinks it will be a good opportunity to develop the game.

Votto ultimately chooses the Dodgers as his World Series champion, but he reveals something bigger that he wants out of this series.
The series will feature four superstars in action today, including Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto.
Votto apparently thinks this series will be a good opportunity for the game, as fans could see four of the league’s best players on the field at the same time, possibly for seven consecutive games.
He really expresses the importance of this streak being long and not ending in four or five games.
A matchup between the Dodgers and the Yankees is likely a dream scenario for fans around the league.
Not only are these two some of the best teams in the game, they’re in two of the biggest cities in the country.
All in all, the baseball world should enjoy this game.
