The 2024 World Series is set to be a thrilling showdown between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. The two historic franchises will face off for the 12th time in history, with Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge leading their respective teams. This marks the first time since 1956 that the National League and American League home run leaders have faced each other in the World Series. Both players are strong MVP candidates, with Ohtani hitting 50 home runs and stealing 50 bases this season, while Judge hit .322 with 144 RBIs and 58 home runs.
The Yankees, seeking their record-extending 28th World Series championship, will look to bounce back from a year of missing the postseason. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are aiming for their eighth World Series crown and second in five years. Ticket sales are expected to be strong, with StubHub predicting its best-selling World Series in history.
