THE POST’S STAFF PREDICTIONS

KEN DAVIDOFF: You’ll rarely go wrong opting for the team that played a long LCS over the team that played a shorter one. Beyond that, the Dodgers’ remarkable roster depth gives them the edge. Dodgers in 6

KEVIN KERNAN: I love LA because of its depth across the board and the hitting adjustments made against the Brewers’ incredible bullpen. October Manny rolls on! Dodgers in 7

GEORGE A. KING III: Boston’s bullpen took abuse throughout the regular season, but was the difference against the Astros in the ALCS. Don’t see that changing now. Mookie Betts hit .205 (8-for-39) against Yankees and Astros without a homer and three RBIs in nine postseason games. Bet on that changing in a big way against the Dodgers. Red Sox in 6

DAN MARTIN: Chris Sale’s health is a concern, as is Craig Kimbrel’s performance throughout the postseason, but the Red Sox have been arguably the best team all year and rookie manager Alex Cora keeps pushing the right buttons. Red Sox in 6

MIKE PUMA: Look for the bullpen and talented Big 3 in the lineup (Manny Machado, Justin Turner and Cody Bellinger) to bring Los Angeles its first World Series title since 1988. Boston’s lack of depth in the bullpen will be exposed. Dodgers in

JOEL SHERMAN: The Dodgers had to overcome a bad regular-season start, having to win a play-in game for the NL West title and seven games without the home-field against the Brewers in the NLCS. But the Red Sox are a different level, superior on offense and defense and with a strong backbone as their 5-0 playoff record in The Bronx and Houston emphasizes. Red Sox in 6

MIKE VACCARO: I doubted the Sox against the Yankees. I doubted the Sox against the Astros. I’m out of the business of doubting the Sox anymore. Red Sox in 6
