Happy World Series, baseball fans! The Los Angeles Dodgers are dominating the series between two blue-blood franchises with the New York Yankees. And the Dodgers could clinch the Commissioner's Trophy in Game 5 on Wednesday with a 3-1 series lead.

Now, we hope it doesn't come to this, but sometimes, umpires make mistakes or create controversies over certain calls. And sometimes, those calls alter the direction of the game or series, and if that happens, you'll probably want to know who to be mad at. We've got you covered.

For the 2024 World Series, the nine-person umpire crew includes crew chief Mark Carlson, Doug Eddings, Chad Fairchild, Andy Fletcher, Mark Ripperger, Todd Tichenor and Carlos Torres. Additionally, Cory Blaser and James Hoye are the umpires on replay duty.

As USA TODAY noted, the seven-umpire crew means each game is expected to have a different ump behind home plate.

For Game 5 of the 2024 World Series — set for Wednesday, October 30 at Yankee Stadium in New York — here’s where each ump is scheduled to be working.

Home plate: Mark Ripperger

First base: Todd Tichenor

Second base: Carlos Torres

Third base: Andy Fletcher

Left field: Mark Carlson

Right field: Doug Eddings

Reserve: Chad Fairchild
