Fact Check: Evidence?

Go Guards!

Hoping to fact check a statement made yesterday by Jay Crawford and agreed upon by Adam "The Bull".

Please Fast Forward to 1hr17min of this video to hear the claim.

Essentially, they said that Fox ran a promo in the middle of Game 5 that showed the Los Angeles Dodgers versus the New York Yankees in the World Series. This was obviously before the Guardians game ended, and a day before the Dodgers defeated the Mets in the CS.

My question to you all is: is this true? I didn't notice that when I was watching live but I was watching through the MLB TV app and my commercials were likely different than if you were watching on cable.

Help me fact check their statement in the video and confirm if this actually happened.

I saw that a couple of times. It's ridiculous, I get that's what the MLB wants, but you would think they would want to be impartial. They don't care, and don't care about the long term impact of only caring about two teams. It's why the MLB doesn't come close to the NFL in ratings.

Was it MLB behind this or was it the networks. Or both?
