Dodgers' Freddie Freeman Went from Injured Uncertainty to World Series MVP Favorite vs. Yankees
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was a huge question mark after suffering a sprained thumb in mid-September.
Freeman initially feared he might miss the rest of the season, but he returned to the lineup just a week later and has been on a tear ever since.
In 17 games since coming back from injury, Freeman is batting .405 with five home runs and 15 RBIs. He has also drawn 15 walks and struck out just six times.
Freeman's hot streak has helped the Dodgers clinch the National League West title and advance to the World Series, where they will face the New York Yankees.
Freeman is now one of the favorites to win the World Series MVP award. He is a veteran leader who has been in the spotlight before, and he has the skills to carry the Dodgers to a championship.
Here are some of the reasons why Freeman is a favorite to win the World Series MVP award:
- He is one of the best hitters in the game. He has a career batting average of .308 with 319 home runs and 1,056 RBIs.
- He is a veteran leader. He has been in the playoffs eight times and has won a World Series championship.
- He is clutch. He has a knack for coming up with big hits in big moments.
