The Los Angeles Dodgers have won the World Series<\/a> over the New York Yankees. It is the eighth championship for the historic franchise. There are many things that led to the climactic victory. Here are five moments that helped the Dodgers ultimately win the World Series.<\/p>\n

But First…<\/h3>\n

The starting pitching was thought to be an Achilles heel for Los Angeles due to lack of depth<\/a>. However, the postseason rotation of Jack Flaherty<\/a>, Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a>, and Walker Buehler<\/a> went 16 2\/3 innings, giving up three earned runs and five walks with 15 strikeouts in Games One through Three. If they are not effective, it is unlikely that these moments matter.<\/p>\n

This Shohei Ohtani<\/a> double was 113.9 mph off the bat and went 381 feet.<\/p>\n

It would’ve been a home run in four ballparks, including Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

Instead, he’s on third base, and has his first career World Series hit for the Dodgers.pic.twitter.com\/ELVMc4eCf2<\/a><\/p>\n
