The Los Angeles Dodgers officially advanced to the World Series with a Game 6 National League Championship Series win over the New York Mets. The Dodgers have now returned to the World Series for the first time since 2020, and they will take on the New York Yankees.
The Dodgers and Yankees are two of the most storied franchises, and have one of the most historic rivalries in baseball. The two teams have faced off in the World Series 11 times previously, and the Yankees have won eight of those matchups. It’s been over 40 years since the Dodgers and Yankees faced off in 1981, with the Dodgers claiming that title.
