Livescore
It’s the final showdown of the Major League Baseball season, and as the leaves change color, the World Series this year will turn familiar shades of Dodger Blue and Yankee Pinstripes. For the 12th time — with their first meeting happening in 1941 — the Yankees and Dodgers face off in the World Series. Their last World Series meeting in 1981 will carry a particularly special significance this year, with Game 1 coming just days after the death of Dodgers legend Fernando Valenzuela, who was the rookie star of that 1981 championship team at the height of “Fernandomania.”
As much as the tale of the tape in this series could be about the names and logos on the front of the uniforms, this year’s matchup is about the first-timers in this storied baseball rivalry. Shohei Ohtani is in the World Series for the first time in his first season with the Dodgers, while Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton also make their first appearances with the Yankees.
Both clubs have been off for nearly a week, so the pitching staffs are lined up for the two teams that finished with the best records in their league during the regular season. Gerrit Cole (1-0, 3.31 ERA, 16.1 IP, 12 K, 6 BB in 2024 postseason) gets the ball for the Yankees against Jack Flaherty (1-2, 7.04 ERA, 15.1 IP, 8 K, 7 BB) for the Dodgers.
