The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are facing each other in the 2024 World Series; The ‘Bronx Bombers’ managed to avoid a sweep by sealing it with a victory in the fourth game.

During the first three games, the Los Angeles Dodgers dominated the Yankees, first with a 6-3 victory in ten innings with a walk off grand slam by Freddy Freeman. In the second game, they beat them 4-2, with a domintating outing by Yoshinobu Yamamato. In the third game, the Dodgers got it done at Yankee Stadium with another 4 - 2 win relying on solid pitching by Walker Buehler and another home run by Freddy Freeman. The fourth game saw the Yankees finally get hot with the bats, knocking in 11 runs to Dodgers’ 4.

Both teams are fighting for the long-awaited Commissioner’s Trophy. The last time the Yankees won the World Series was in 2009. The Dodgers last won in the shortened 2020 season.

The franchises with the most World Series wins

In Major League Baseball, there are 30 teams that are distributed in two zones: the National League and the American League. In each of them, there are three divisions: East, Central and West; with five teams included.

These are the teams that have been able to lift the Commissioner’s Trophy in the World Series since 1903:

  • New York Yankees | 27
  • St. Louis Cardinals | 11
  • Oakland Athletics | 9
  • Boston Red Sox | 9
  • San Francisco Giants | 8
  • Los Angeles Dodgers | 7
  • Pittsburgh Pirates | 5
  • Cincinnati Reds | 5
  • Detroit Tigers | 4
  • Atlanta Braves | 4
  • Baltimore Orioles | 3
  • Minnesota Twins | 3
  • Chicago White Sox | 3
  • Chicago Cubs | 3
  • Cleveland Guardians | 2
  • New York Mets | 2
  • Toronto Blue Jays | 2
  • Miami Marlins | 2

  • Kansas City Royals | 2

  • Arizona Diamondbacks | 1
  • Los Angeles Angels | 1
  • Washington Nationals | 1

The Yankees still have a chance of winning their 28th World Series, but with the 3 - 1 advantage for the Dodgers, it’s going to be tough to keep LA from winning their 8th World Series.
