Mookie Betts trade puts Yankees, Dodgers on World Series collision course

Error 0:

The Yankees bought Gerrit Cole — no worse than the second- or third-best pitcher in the world — and lost nothing devastating from a 103-win team. Now, the Dodgers have obtained Mookie Betts — no worse than the second- or third-best player in the world — and have taken few meaningful hits from a 106-win roster.

So if you are doing winners and losers this offseason, think about Fox Sports, which might just get the first Yankees-Dodgers World Series since 1981.

Yep, there is a long way from here to there, and how often do the overdogs fulfill their promise?
