The Post experts’ Yankees-Dodgers picks

The Post experts’ Yankees-Dodgers picks

The Post’s MLB staff predicts how the World Series between the Yankees and Dodgers will play out:

Jon Heyman

Yankees in 7

The lineups are equally dynamic and the bullpens both solid, but the Yankees rotation is much better and deeper at the moment.

No doubt this will be a step up in competition for the Yankees, but they wore the Guardians bullpen down in the ALCS and have a chance to do the same against the Dodgers in a long series. 

Dan Martin

Yankees in 6 

The Dodgers and Yankees match up pretty well when it comes to star power, but it’s hard to see how Los Angeles’ pitching holds up, since they barely scraped by in the previous rounds.

Mike Puma

Dodgers in 7 

The Yankees only have 2.5 good hitters — per Luis Severino — and this Dodgers lineup is deep and talented to complement a strong bullpen.

Mark W. Sanchez

Dodgers in 6 

In a matchup between two teams with obvious holes, the deeper Dodgers lineup will make the difference. 

Joel Sherman

Dodgers in 7 

As much as the Yankees should have a starting pitching advantage, I still sense this will come down to who beats up the other team’s bullpen more — and the Dodgers lineup is longer and better. 

Mike Vaccaro

Yankees in 7 

Yes, the Dodgers are a step up in competition for the Yankees … but the Yankees, the way they’re playing, are a step up in competition for the Dodgers, too. The Yankees land the last punch in what’ll be a dynamite series.
