Fox announcer Joe Davis talks all storylines in play for Yankees-Dodgers World Series

Dodgers television voice Joe Davis’ third World Series call for FOX pits arguably baseball’s most historic franchises.He fields some questions from The Post’s Steve Serby.Q: How do you deal with the pressure knowing that all over the world, so many eyeballs will be on you given that it’s Yankees versus Dodgers?A: I try to be myself, that’s the first thing.

I’ve always been somebody who’s tried to nail the basics, and then get out of the way.I think that I’ll do what I’ve always done, and then just get out of the way and not pay a ton of attention to the outside noise.

’Cause I know that it comes with the territory that people are gonna have strong opinions and these are when the games are the most heated and people’s emotions are the most heightened.I totally get that that’s part of the gig, so being myself and then doing as best I can just kind of wall off any outside noise and not let that affect me.Q: What is your mindset heading into your third World Series after learning what you’ve learned from the first two?A: I think that what I found in my first one was that when I got to the World Series, it was as special as I had dreamt it would be.

But it wasn’t overwhelming because it was the next big game in a month full of them with the same partner and the same crew that I had been with all month.Q: Your partner, John Smoltz?A: Man, he’s brilliant, he’s brilliant.I learn something from him every time that I work with him.

Part of the reason baseball’s a beautiful game is because there’s always another layer that you can pull back.You can go to the park every day, I think, for your whole life and learn something each time you go.

And each time I work with him, I feel like it’s a chance to do that, in the way that he peels back the layers on the hitter-pitcher matchups… As a broadcasting nerd, I think that he has a big-game sound, and I know that I appreciate that about him, too.Q: Ohtani versus Judge?A: Oh, it’s so good!...
