Among the many teams in Major League Baseball, there has never been a more historic rivalry than the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. Both teams have been competing against each other for many years, with consistent matchups occurring in many World Series. This year seems to be a continuation of this matchup, as they are set to face off this Saturday. Although the World Series is not here yet, it is quickly approaching, and this game will be a good indicator of where both teams stand this year.
Last year was a close one for both teams, but the Dodgers ended up winning the World Series and claimed the title. This victory had more significance than usual since these rivals haven’t gone against each other in the World Series since the 1980s. Although the Yankees have had more wins overall than the Dodgers, it might be that the tables have finally turned. Enough time has passed for the Dodgers to get more comfortable with this matchup, so it feels more up in the air with who is favored to win big this year.
Of course, it is far too early to determine who will win the World Series. Both teams have had great track records for a long time, and they are always signing up great players to fill their rosters. However, based on this coming game, we can get a better idea of what each team is lacking and what they need to work on. It might even be an early indication of who will win the title and who will go home early. Either way, it makes for interesting stakes for these two rivals.
