The World Series is about to begin with the New York Yankees facing the Los Angeles Dodgers, both teams eager to proclaim themselves champions. The Yankees haven't reached this stage since 2009, the year they won the MLB title and are now looking to repeat the feat. The first game between the two squads will take place on Friday, October 25, at the Dodgers' stadium.
The Dodgers have decided to pay tribute to Fernando Valenzuela, who passed away on October 22, by wearing a patch with the number 34 on their uniforms in his honor. Regarding the sports strategy, Shohei Ohtani will take on the role of pitcher in the final series of the 2024 MLB season, as announced by Dave Roberts in a press conference.
The broadcast of the games will be available through different platforms such as Fox Sports, Disney+, MLB TV, and Fox Sports Premium. The first game's schedule will be at 6:08 PM, Central Time of Mexico. The World Series will be played in a best of 7 games, with a team needing to win 4 games to take the title.
To date, the Yankees and Dodgers have featured in 11 World Series in MLB history. The Yankees have the advantage, having won 8 times, while the Dodgers have only succeeded 3 times. Their first confrontation in this instance was in 1941, and the most recent was in 1981.
This year's series starts with an exciting game between these two renowned teams. In 1981, the Dodgers became champions thanks to Fernando Valenzuela, but now the Yankees seek to get revenge and add a new title to their history. Fans of both teams eagerly await to witness this World Series filled with emotions and action.
