2020 World Series
Similarly to 2018, two of the teams with the best record in the MLB are meeting for the title. To read more about the last time two of the teams met with the best record; be sure to check out our Boston Red Sox Win World Series post.
Surprisingly, in 2018, it was also the Los Angeles Dodgers matched up with an American League East opponent. Although it isn’t the Red Sox; this year, it’s the Tampa Bay Rays.
Moreover, one of the key marks for both teams has been Andrew Friedman. In fact, he was the Director of Baseball Ops and General Manager for the Rays; and since 2014, he has been the President of the Dodgers Baseball Ops.
Los Angeles Dodgers
For the 3rd time in 4 years, the Dodgers are returning to the big stage. With the team winning all of their series early on; this year had many different types of challenges.
Since many players opted out before the season began, to time away from their families; this year was entirely different for sports professionals. To read about the players that opted out; be sure to visit our Professional Sports Players Opting Out post. Even with David Price opting out before the season started; the Dodgers have a chance to win it all.
Tampa Bay Rays
After winning series against the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros; the Rays are going to the World Series for the first time since 2008.
Although the team made it to the final stage in 2008; the Rays have never won the World Series. Will this be their year?
