Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers, led by Shohei Ohtani, are World Series favorites. Ohtani has had a historic season, as he is baseball’s first 50-50 players, as he hit more than 50 home runs and had more than 50 stolen bases. The Dodgers boast a powerful lineup led by Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and Teoscar Hernandez. The Dodgers have gotten good starting pitching from Jack Flaherty and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the first two games of the World Series and they head to New York with a 2-0 lead in the 2024 World Series. The Dodgers will be looking to win their eighth World Series title.

New York Yankees

The Yankees will have to rebound from losing the first two games of the 2024 World Series in Los Angeles. The Yankees will host Games 3, 4 and 5 and they need to win at least two of those games to force the series back to Los Angeles for a Game 6. The Yankees missed the playoffs last season but they have thrived this season due in large part to the addition of Juan Soto. He has provided a huge boost to the New York offense and with Aaron Judge leading the league in home runs, the two players have been a potent one-two combination. New York has Gerrit Cole leading their rotation and then it is a lot of question marks. The good news for New York is that the bullpen has been excellent led by new closer Luke Weaver. This will be the first time the Yankees have been in the World Series since winning the title in 2009. The Yankees will be looking to win their 28th World Series title.

World Series Betting Notes

The Los Angeles Dodgers opened the 2024 regular season as World Series favorites and they are still favored to win the World Series, as after winning the first two games in Los Angeles they are now more than a 3-1 favorite in World Series odds against the New York Yankees. The World Series is a best-of-seven with the Dodgers holding the home field advantage. History could be on the side of the Yankees making this a series, as seven of the last 10 World Series have gone at least six games. Only once since 2020 has the World Series ended in a sweep.

List of World Series Results (2000)

The New York Yankees have made the most appearances in the Fall Classic with 40; they won 27. Not surprisingly, the Bronx Bombers are the last team to repeat as World Series champions, with three consecutive crowns from 1998 through 2000.

The San Francisco Giants have made the most NL appearances with 20, but the NL team with the most Series wins is the St. Louis Cardinals with 11. The American League has won 68 of the 119 overall World Series played.

Of the original 16 franchises still around today, each has won at least two World Series titles. After the Washington Nationals won it all in 2019, the Seattle Mariners are the only franchise yet to appear in a World Series.

The San Diego Padres have made it to the Fall Classic twice but failed to bring home the Commissioner's Trophy each time.

The Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies, and Tampa Bay Rays failed to win it in their lone appearances.

The Houston Astros won their first World Series in their second appearance in 2017. And then the Astros lost their next two appearances in 2019 and 2021. But Houston showed resiliency in winning the 2022 Fall Classic for its second championship in franchise history.

The Texas Rangers won their first World Series title in 2023 taking out the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games.
