The MLB playoffs will once again see the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 World Series. However, despite being one of the most successful franchises in MLB, the Dodgers have only played in 23 World Series, counting both those played in Brooklyn and Los Angeles.
The Dodgers are now looking to emulate none other than the New York Yankees dynasty from 1998 to 2000, as the first Major League team to win the Fall Classic in consecutive campaigns since then
Below, we take a look at how the Dodgers have fared in the World Series in their great and rich history that goes beyond Los Angeles.
