The Yankees and Dodgers have a rich history that dates back to when the Dodgers called Brooklyn home. The teams have squared off in the World Series 11 times, more than any other pairing in MLB history. 

During the Brooklyn era, the Yankees dominated with a 6-1 record. Since the Dodgers’ move to Los Angeles in the late 1950s, the teams have split their matchups, with each team winning two series. Their last meeting was in 1981, when the Dodgers took the title.

This year, the Dodgers are aiming for their eighth World Series championship and their second in five years. Meanwhile, the Yankees are on the hunt for their 28th title, their first since 2009.

For fans hoping to catch the action live, ticket prices are hitting record highs.

Prices to see Game 3 at Yankee Stadium range from $1,500 to roughly $27,800 for a seat behind home plate.
