For the 12th time in MLB history, the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees will face off in the World Series. The Dodgers and Yankees are two of the most popular teams in baseball, also from the two largest markets in the country. This World Series revives a classic rivalry that has not seen the light of day in the postseason since 1981, when the Dodgers captured the title.
The Yankees have the edge in the series overall, holding an 8-3 record against the Dodgers in the World Series. But it’s been over 40 years since the two teams last played for a championship.
