The 2024 MLB playoffs are approaching their conclusion, and the matchup for the World Series is one many fans have wished for. It’s the East Coast against the West Coast, yet both teams have roots in New York. These two clubs are known for making significant investments in star players and have rich histories, though they have surprisingly few championships this century. In the spotlight are the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees.

Though fans in New York may have desired a Subway Series for the Commissioner’s Trophy, a classic clash between the Dodgers and Yankees is still a remarkable alternative. Both teams feature exceptional rosters filled with All-Star caliber players. Despite battling several injuries to their pitching staff, the Dodgers are just four victories away from winning their first full-season title in more than 45 years.

On the other hand, the Yankees made a significant investment in superstar Juan Soto during the offseason to bolster their title chances. After missing the playoffs last year, they are now in the World Series for the first time in over a decade. Below are the playoff bracket, schedule, and results for both teams leading up to the World Series.
