<\/p>\nAlthough the Los Angeles Dodgers head to the Bronx with a 2-0 lead in the World Series, fans shouldn\u2019t think it\u2019ll be smooth sailing from now on. Based on history, teams that lead 2-0 in the last Fall Classic matchups against the New York Yankees end up losing the series.<\/p>\n

Just ask the 1978 Dodgers that held a 2-0 lead over the Yankees after winning the first two games at Dodger Stadium. Those Dodgers eventually lost the World Series in six games to New York.<\/p>\n
The 1981 Bombers also fell short despite having a 2-0 lead over the Dodgers. Los Angeles legends such as Fernando Valenzuela, Ron Cey, and Steve Yeager left the Yankees empty-handed in six games.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s certainly an interesting pattern to keep an eye on as the Fall Classic progresses. However, every season features a different type of team. Each team has their own identity.<\/p>\n
The 2024 Dodgers have built up a personality abundant in resilience. There has been no shortage of injuries and missing starters throughout the season, and yet, the Dodgers are just two games away from winning it all.<\/p>\n
Some could say the odds are stacked against the Dodgers being up 2-0. But the Dodgers have continued to beat the odds in 2024 and they are confident they can do it once more.<\/p>\n
Shohei Ohtani\u2019s injury silenced an energetic crowd at Dodger Stadium Saturday night. It was as if, for a second, the Dodgers were lifeless.<\/p>\n
However, when a reporter asked Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez postgame about the team\u2019s readiness to play without their leadoff hitter, the Dodgers outfielder showcased the resilient personality of every player in the clubhouse.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, yeah, a thousand percent,\u201d Hern\u00e1ndez said. \u201cWe were battling throughout the year with a lot of injuries. First was the starting pitcher and then Mookie and then Freddie. And hopefully not Ohtani in this case. It\u2019s not going to be a good feeling, but if he can\u2019t go on Monday, we just have to keep doing the thing we\u2019ve been doing for the past couple weeks.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n History may say one thing, but the story of the Dodgers\u2019 entire season says another. Two more wins and the Dodgers can defy history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although the Los Angeles Dodgers head to the Bronx with a 2-0 lead in the World Series, fans shouldn\u2019t think it\u2019ll be smooth sailing from now on…. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"\n
