Boston Red Sox took an early advantage in the World Series as they won the first of the best-of-seven series against the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-4. Mookie Betts, who was named the Sporting News Player of the Year by his peers, was in top form getting them off to an early lead after just two batters. As their utility man Brock Holts says, "We go when Mookie goes." He is renowned for his ability to steal bases and if he keeps this up, Boston can go onto their first victory in the World Series since 2013. Boston, who beat defending champions Houston Astros in the American League Championship series have won eight of their last ten matches,coming into great form at just the right time. LA Dodgers struggled to make their way to their second successive World Series and the pressure is on them. A loss here would see them needing to win four of the last five to win the series. That looks like being the situation if Boston maintain their current form and that's the bet for this match, a Boston win.
