Dodgers' 2-0 lead over Yankees in World Series plays key role in keeping Los Angeles' crazy winning streak across sports intact

The Los Angeles Dodgers have showcased why they have long been considejustred the favorite to win the World Series all season long. Thanks to an incredible lineup that features the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman, the club has been able to take a commanding 2-0 World Series lead over the New York Yankees.

While the Dodgers' 4-2 victory over the Yankees on Saturday was impressive, what is even more noteworthy is what the victory meant to the city outside of just a World Series lead. The City of Los Angeles has been a sporting hot streak lately, with the Dodgers making sure to do their part to keep it alive.

Since October 24th, sports teams in Los Angeles have been undefeated. This is not limited to just the four major North American sports but also soccer and college teams.

Since the 24th, the Los Angeles Rams, Kings, Dodgers, Lakers, Chargers, Clippers, Galaxy, and LAFC have all picked up at least one victory. The same goes for USC's football and basketball teams, who picked up important wins.

It remains to be seen how long this streak will last. However, the long list shared by sports media personality Arash Markazi shows just how dominant Los Angeles has been. After cities like Boston and Tampa Bay have had stretches of sports success in recent years, could Los Angeles be the 2024/25 city of champions?

Shohei Ohtani will be in the Dodgers lineup as they look to keep the streak alive on Monday night

While the only other Los Angeles-based team in action on Monday night are the Los Angeles Lakers, the Dodgers will need to do their part if the winning streak is going to stay alive. Luckily for Los Angeles, Shohei Ohtani will indeed be healthy enough to play in Monday night's incredibly important Game 3 of the World Series.

The Japanese superstar suffered a left shoulder subluxation in Game 2 while sliding into second base, leaving his availability in question. Well, it is now confirmed that Ohtani will continue in his lead-off role as the club looks to take a three-game lead.

If Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Betts can keep riding the momentum they have built up in the first two games, it could be disastrous for the New York Yankees. A 3-0 series could be nearly impossible to overcome at this point of the year, making Monday's showdown arguably the most important of the World Series.
