Neither the Dodgers nor Freddie Freeman left much doubt in this fall classic.

The team is on the cusp of winning the World Series after Monday night’s 4-2 win over the Yankees in Game 3 and Freeman is staring down MVP honors.

Freeman homered in a third straight game to lead the Dodgers’ offensive attack.

Overall, it was his fifth straight World Series game with a homer (dating back to 2021 with the Braves), tying a record set by George Springer with the Astros (2017 and ’19).

And Freeman became the first player since Barry Bonds in 2002 to homer in the first three games of a World Series.

Freeman, who sprained his right ankle on September 26 while trying to avoid a tag at first base, was on a 17-game homerless drought before this series began.

“Those days off (last week) were huge for me,” Freeman said, referring to the five-day gap between the NLCS and the World Series. “I got my ankle in a place where after every match it is no longer as bad as it used to be. …So I think days off when you get hurt are kind of a help. I got my ankle in a place where I could work on my swing and I got it in a good place for this series.

After Shohei Ohtani led the game with a walk and Mookie Betts was retired, Freeman fell behind Clarke Schmidt 1-2 in the count before hitting a cutter into the right-field seats.

Freeman’s signature moment in the series came in Game 1 on Friday, when he launched a walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning against Nestor Cortes.

Freeman, playing on the skinny ankle, evoked memories of Kirk Gibson’s miracle homer that sank the A’s in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series.

Freeman returned in Game 2 and homered against Carlos Rodon in the fourth inning.

The Dodgers weren’t all Freeman this night, but his homer put the team on the right track.

In the third inning, Tommy Edman drew a walk against Schmidt and Betts delivered an RBI single that put the Yankees in a 3-0 hole.

In the sixth, Gavin Lux was sacked and stole second before Kiké Hernandez’s RBI single gave the Dodgers a four-run cushion.

“We know what’s at stake (Tuesday),” Freeman said. “We have a chance to become champions and we know their guys. They have nothing to lose and they are going to do everything they can.”

Freeman’s outburst over the past three games almost ensures the Dodgers will have the National League MVP (Ohtani) and World Series MVP (Freeman).

But Freeman is more focused on the World Series trophy.

“I really just want to hoist that trophy,” he said. “I don’t care how that happens. I don’t care if I go 0-for-the-next-70 with 70 strikeouts, as long as we win, that’s all I care about.”
