The World Series matchup that many saw coming at the start of the season has come to fruition.
The big-market, big-spending Los Angeles Dodgers will face the big-market, big-spending New York Yankees in the Fall Classic starting with Game 1 on Friday, October 25, at Dodger Stadium.
The National League champion Dodgers, powered by superstar Shohei Ohtani in his first season with the team, are in the World Series for the first time since the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season. The Dodgers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays to claim their seventh championship in franchise history.
The American League champion Yankees, led by slugger Aaron Judge, return to the World Series for the first time since 2009, where they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. The Yankees, the winningest club in Major League Baseball history, look for a 28th World Series title.
The Yankees and Dodgers last met in the World Series in 1981, where the Dodgers defeated the Yankees 4-2. The Dodgers featured pitching phenom Fernando Valenzuela, who passed away Tuesday at the age of 63. The Dodgers will honor Valenzuela before Friday’s game.
The Dodgers have home-field advantage in the series by virtue of their better regular season record of 98-64 (the Yankees finished 94-68).
