Dodgers Lead World Series 3-0 Over Yankees

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, famous for his pivotal role in the 2004 Red Sox comeback from a 3-0 deficit against the Yankees, is now focused on preventing a similar fate as the Dodgers lead the Yankees 3-0 in the 2024 World Series. After a 4-2 victory in Game 3, Roberts emphasized the need for his team to maintain urgency and not take their success for granted, stating, "I just don’t want to let these guys up for air." Historically, only four teams have pushed a series to Game 6 after trailing 3-0, with the Dodgers looking to sweep the series in Game 4. Roberts was cautious about discussing his past experience, saying, "Don’t talk about that. Wrong guy. Way too early," as he aims to keep his team's focus sharp. The Yankees, struggling with their lineup, face an uphill battle to prevent the sweep, having failed to capitalize on their supposed pitching advantage. With Roberts urging his team to capitalize on scoring opportunities, the Dodgers are on the brink of clinching their second championship in four years.
