It all comes down to this.
The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are squaring off in a heavyweight World Series between two storied MLB franchises.
Both teams are loaded with All-Stars and household names. The Yankees boast Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and Gerrit Cole, while the Dodgers bring Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman to the table.
