Although the Los Angeles Dodgers head to the Bronx with a 2-0 lead in the World Series, fans shouldn’t think it’ll be smooth sailing from now on. Based on history, teams that lead 2-0 in the last Fall Classic matchups against the New York Yankees end up losing the series.
Just ask the 1978 Dodgers that held a 2-0 lead over the Yankees after winning the first two games at Dodger Stadium. Those Dodgers eventually lost the World Series in six games to New York.
The 1981 Bombers also fell short despite having a 2-0 lead over the Dodgers.
