It’s the 12th Fall Classic meeting between the Dodgers and Yankees, by far the most prolific of any postseason matchup. But this will mark the first meeting between these two teams since 1981. The Dodgers won the championship that season, but the Yankees have won eight of the previous 11 matchups. Since the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, they are 2-2 in World Series against New York.

The Dodgers earned home-field advantage throughout the postseason by finishing with 98 wins, the best record in baseball. The Yankees won 94 games, the best record in the American League and third-best record overall, with the 95-win Phillies in between.

The Yankees beat the Guardians in five games in the American League Championship Series, clinching the pennant on Saturday night in Cleveland. It’s the first trip to the World Series for New York since 2009.

During the regular season, the Dodgers won two out of three games against the Yankees. 

Juan Soto smashed a three-run home run in the 10th inning on Saturday that lifted the New York Yankees over Cleveland 5-2 and into their first World Series since 2009.

The 25-year-old Dominican outfielder crushed a fastball from Cleveland pitcher Hunter Gaddis over the centerfield wall to score the deciding runs in a thriller that sent the Yankees into their record 41st World Series overall.

Earlier on, Giancarlo Stanton had hit a two-run homer in the sixth to level the match at 2-2.

“It’s the best feeling in the game whenever you win and take your team to the World Series,” said Soto. “It’s the best feeling you can ever have. That’s what we play for.

“We did a really good job since day one. We’ve been working hard. Now we’re the best team in the American League.”

The Yankees will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.

The Buffalo Bills won 23-20 against the New York Jets in Week 6 in a game which seemed to feature a little bit of everything.

The first half was explosive, with both teams piling up over 200 yards of total offense. Buffalo put up over 100 yards on the the ground and through the air before halftime.

Then, the second half hit. The game was a mistake-filled, sloppy rendition of football. In the end, the Bills and Jets combined for 22 accepted penalties for 204 yards.

Josh Allen did what Josh Allen does: he extended plays and continued to dazzle with his creativity. He scored a rushing touchdown, threw for two more, and then iced the game on a late third down rush.

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 294 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception in a back-and-forth encounter.

For the second straight week, Buffalo’s second-half adjustments on defense helped keep things under wraps against their opponent. New York piled up yards, but when it counted the most, the Bills defense locked down the Jets.

Buffalo moves to 4-2 and gains some valuable breathing room at the top of the AFC East standings.
