FiveThirtyEight's statistical projections give the Dodgers a 69 percent of lifting the Commissioner's Trophy this month, with the Rays at 31 percent.bookmakers' joint favorites to win the World Series
Los Angeles is the first team since the New York Yankees to reach the Fall Classic three times in four seasons. The Yankees followed their 1998-2000 three-peat with a seven-game loss against the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001 and a six-game defeat against the then Florida Marlins two years later. Like the Dodgers, the Rays swept their opponents in the Wild Card Series—Los Angeles defeated the Milwaukee Brewers while Tampa Bay beat the Toronto Blue Jays—before the Rays needed five games to win the American League Division Series and then squandered a three-game lead against the Houston Astros in the Championship Series.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, swept the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series and then roared back from 3-1 down to defeat the Atlanta Braves in the Championship Series.
