Aaron Judge Hopes for Second Shot at Dodgers in 2025 World Series originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
New York Yankees' superstar outfielder Aaron Judge and Los Angeles Dodgers' phenom Shohei Ohtani were two of the many stars at Truist Park Monday evening for the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby.
The Pat McAfee Show was also live from the All-Star festivities in Atlanta, and Judge joined the show Monday and was asked about Ohtani.
Judge had nothing but respect for the Dodgers' three-time MVP and World Series champion, but he did send a message about the 2025 postseason.
"He's a great guy, a great ambassador for this game," Judge said on the Pat McAfee Show. "We're gonna get him back though. We'll see him down the road."

The Dodgers and Yankees met in the 2024 World Series, which didn't go well for the Bronx Bombers. The Dodgers beat the Yankees in five games. After Los Angeles took a 3-0 series lead, the Dodgers closed out the Fall Classic at Yankee Stadium with a 7-6 victory to win their second World Series championship in four years.
Despite losing in five games, the Yankees were competitive in the World Series. The Dodgers outscored the Yankees by just one run in the entire series, and all four losses came by three or fewer runs. Now, Judge wants a rematch to get revenge against Ohtani and the Dodgers.
As for the likelihood of a rematch, it's pretty likely according to sportsbooks. Fanduel has the Dodgers as the favorites to win the World Series, and the Yankees have the fourth shortest odds, second behind the Detroit Tigers in the American League. DraftKings has the Dodgers and Yankees with the two shortest odds, BetMGM and Bet365 have the Dodgers as the favorites, and the Yankees just behind the Tigers with the third shortest odds.
At the All-Star break, the Dodgers hold the best record in the National League at 58-39, and the Yankees sit at 53-43, good for fourth in the AL and second in their division.
