Who Won the World Series in 2024?
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees 4-1 in the 2024 World Series. Baseball betting favourites heading into the season and boasting a star-studded roster, the Dodgers took a commanding 3-0 lead before losing Game 4.
Freddie Freeman hit the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history in Game 1. The former Atlanta Braves first baseman was later named World Series MVP.
Dave Roberts became the 24th manager to win multiple World Series.
Who Is in the World Series This Year?
The teams in the World Series will be confirmed at the conclusion of the ALCS and NLCS. MLB betting markets make the Dodgers and Yankees the favourites to reach the Fall Classic, but it’s very rare the same two teams reach the World Series in consecutive years.
The last time this happened was when the Dodgers and Yankees matched up in the Fall Classic in 1977 and 1978. It is the most common matchup in World Series history.
When Was the Last Time the Blue Jays Won the World Series?
The Toronto Blue Jays most recently won the World Series in 1993. It was the second of Toronto’s two titles, which were won in consecutive years.
The Yankees are the only team to win back-to-back titles since then.
