The Los Angeles Dodgers are out of the World Series after defeating the New York Mets in the National League Championship Series.
With both championship series now over, the World Series game is set for the Dodgers against the New York Yankees.
Tommy Edman of the Dodgers had a big performance in Game 6 and the series overall to earn MVP honors.
That surprise award prompted MLB analyst AJ Ramos to make a bold statement about the shortstop.
“Tommy Edman was a cheat code right now,” Ramos said via Sirius XM’s MLB Network Radio.

Edman entered the league in 2019 with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he played the first five seasons of his career.
He did not play in St. Louis this season and came to Los Angeles at the trade deadline, playing 37 games after recovering from wrist surgery.
Edman’s regular season numbers didn’t jump off the page as he hit .237 with six home runs, 20 RBI and a .711 OPS.
He found his bat in the NLCS, however, hitting .407 with 11 hits, one home run and 11 RBI in the series.
Ramos described how well-rounded Edman is at the plate and how he can do the little things, like put the ball in play or lay it up.
Edman will look to continue his hot streak at the World Championships.
