Here we are. The final matches of the 2023 season will take place in the coming days. A mixture of excitement at the dawn of the World Series and sadness to see the current campaign draw to a close is what is brewing in the hearts of fans of the most beautiful sport on the planet.
Let’s instead focus on the positive, namely the excellent duel between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Texas Rangers which is taking shape before our eyes.
For the third time in these playoffs, a two-day break was included in the fall dance, which gave our columnists time to focus on the final duel.
So, without further ado, here are the Passion MLB team’s predictions for the World Series.
Diamondbacks vs. Rangers
Antoine Desrosiers: Arizona in 7. I dared to bet against the Diamondbacks only once and I regretted it. It will be a refreshing series that will provide exciting gameplay. Even if both teams need to play better at home, the trend is towards visitors having success on opposing courts. May the best win! MVP: Corbin Carroll.
Charles-Alexis: Arizona in 6. The 12 strokes of midnight did not strike for the Cinderella team in the 2023 series. The Diamondbacks attack will overcome the Rangers relievers. MVP: Gabriel Moreno.
Daniel Birru: Arizona in 7. DBacks are on a good run, and it will be tight until the end but they will end up having the upper hand. MVP: Ketel Marte.
Felix Forget: Arizona in 6. You don’t change a winning formula, I see my Diamondbacks winning every series since the beginning of the fall and I continue to believe in the formation of destiny. The team is united, the question marks have become strengths and the young people will win the World Series much sooner than expected MVP: Gabriel Moreno.
Maxime Trudeau: Texas in 6. It will be a tight series, but in the end, the home field advantage, the presence of Bruce Bochy in the dugout and the performance of Nathan Eovaldi made me lean towards the Rangers. MVP: Corey Seager.
Pascal Harvey: Texas in 6. It’s hard not to side with the 2023 Cinderella team, but I’m still opting for the Rangers because of their aggressiveness at the plate and the experience of their pitching staff. MVP: Adolis Garcia.
Raphael Simard: Arizona in 6. If there’s anything I learned during these series, it’s not to take against the DBacks. MVP: Gabriel Moreno.
Sébastien Berrouard: Texas in 6. Masterfully led by the old fox Bruce Bochy, the starting rotation and the attack of the Rangers will be able to fill the weakness of the relief pen to overcome the young and dangerous Serpents. MVP: Marcus Semien.
Sébastien Tabary: Arizona in 7. Hard to predict when none of these teams were among my starting picks. Both will be taken seriously, however, I give a slight advantage to DBackswhose bullpen greatly impressed me. MVP: Gabriel Moreno.
