Even with a unique postseason, the best two teams during the 2020 MLB regular season will face off in the World Series.
The Los Angeles Dodgers (43-17) and Tampa Bay Rays (40-20) each had the best record in their respective league during the shortened season. An expanded playoff and neutral locations created tougher paths for the top seeds than usual, but they each found a way to survive and advance to the final round after winning Game 7 of the League Championship Series.
The title now comes down to two teams; one trying to win for the first time since 1988 and the other trying to win for the first time in franchise history.
