The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Yankees in five games in 2024 and look to repeat against the Blue Jays this year.
How many times have the Los Angeles Dodgers won the MLB World Series?
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in five games in the 2024 World Series. This puts them in a tie for fifth most World Series banners in MLB history.
Othani and Freeman led the way in 2024
Led by their electrifying lineup of power hitters, the Dodgers were the best team in baseball in 2024. They won a league high 98 games to get the top seed in the National League playoffs and rolled through the San Diego Padres before meeting the New York Mets in the NLCS and then setting up a dream matchup with the New York Yankees in an East Coast vs. West Coast title series for the first time since 1981.
The Dodgers went out and got the best baseball player in the world in Shohei Othani for one specific purpose, to bring the Commissioners Trophy back to LA. They signed him from intercity rivals, the Los Angeles Angels and all Othani did was something that has never been seen before in the history of the majors. He posted a 50/50 season stealing 59 bases and hitting 54 homers.

The Dodgers look to repeat in 2025 and they’ll have to get past a tough Toronto Blue Jays to pull of the back-to-back World Series win.
Second World Series of the decade
The Dodgers won their eighth title in 2024 and did it against the winningest team in MLB history. Their eight is impressive, but the Yankees top the charts with 27. The last of those coming in 2009. Those in New York thought this was going to be the year that the title drought ended but Othani and the Dodgers were too much for Aaron Judge and the Yankees.
The first Dodgers World Series championship came back in 1955 when they were still based in Brooklyn. The moved out to LA in the 1958 season, and since then have won it seven times, with their last one coming in 2020 when they beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
