The Los Angeles Dodgers and L.A. Lakers each boast a rich tradition that has the two franchises considered among the most iconic in all of professional sports. However, their history has remained exactly that as both teams have failed to add to their championships.
Although the Dodgers reached the World Series in 2017 and 2018, their last title came in 1988. They were a World Series favorite this season, only to be eliminated by eventual champion Washington Nationals in the National League Division Series.
Meanwhile, the Lakers haven’t won an NBA title since 2010. They face lofty expectations this season after acquiring Anthony Davis during a blockbuster trade in the summer.
