The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Milwaukee Brewers to win the 23rd National League pennant in franchise history and now are back in the World Series for a second consecutive year.
It’s also the Dodgers’ third appearance in the Fall Classic over the last six years. They’re looking to become MLB’s first repeat World Series champion since the New York Yankees captured three titles in a row from 1998-2000.
After a middling regular season by their standards, the Dodgers have dominated in the postseason as a Wild Card team. That came after winning the NL West title for the fourth year in a row and 12th time in the past 13 seasons.
