The 2024 World Cup starts on Friday and Baseball Bar-B-Cast The crew is here to provide the most complete preview possible of arguably the most star-studded fall classic in history.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss all the narratives surrounding this series, including the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers meeting in the Championship for the first time since 1981, Shohei Ohtani going head-to-head with Aaron Judge, and whether there is no World Experience in the series will be important for both teams.

Also in this episode, Jake and Jordan break down some of the key players fans should keep an eye on, break down the position-by-position battles between each team, and make their final predictions for who will walk away as champions when the dust finally settles.
