The Dodgers and the Yankees met in the 2024 World Series in what should have been a competitive contest, if not for the fifth inning in Game 5, when an uncommon Judge error kicked off a parade of blunders for New York.

The first half of the MLB season did not disappoint thanks to Cal Raleigh, Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani and others. But this is where the real fun begins.

The MLB has had a major renaissance thanks to the rule changes and two of the biggest stars playing for the Dodgers and Yankees. Ohtani, though, reigns supreme.

Shohei Ohtani isn't leading MLB in home runs at the All-Star break -- Who does, you ask? That would be Cal Raleigh, who is in the field -- but he is third in the majors at 32 homers. So: why isn't he in the 2025 Home Run Derby, set to start on Monday night at Truist Field in Atlanta?

Two of the best in the major leagues, Yankees captain Aaron Judge and Dodgers phenom Shohei Ohtani, are set to face each other in the All-Star game.
