The New York Yankees managed to keep their 2024 World Series hopes alive with a victory in Game 4. However, their chances of winning the championship remain slim. Historically, teams have come back from a 3-1 deficit in the World Series only six times, which occurs about 15% of the time, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are determined not to become part of that statistic.
If any team could achieve such a comeback, it might be this Yankees squad—provided Aaron Judge can regain his hitting form. The Yankees' bullpen has been impressive throughout the series, a hallmark of a championship-caliber team. Still, their offense and starting rotation will need to step up significantly if they hope to become the first team to recover from a 3-0 deficit in World Series history.

The New York Yankees kept their World Series dreams alive with a strong comeback in Game 4, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 at Yankee Stadium. Anthony Volpe’s third-inning grand slam sparked the Yankees’ offense, helping them avoid a series sweep. The Dodgers still lead the series 3-1, and no team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win the World Series, but the Yankees are aiming to rewrite history. Freeman’s grand slam in Game 1 was reminiscent of Kirk Gibson’s legendary walk-off homer in 1988
