From the 1940s to the 1980s, both teams were crosstown rivals, since the Dodgers were initially based in Brooklyn before moving to L.A. in 1958. Amid the battle between the East and West Coast, the Dodgers won the first three games before closing out the series with game No. 5.

When Was the Last World Series the Dodgers Won?
The Dodgers’ last World Series win was in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the celebration was diluted compared to tradition. At the time, the Dodgers took on the Tampa Bay Rays. They played the full series at Globe Life Field in Texas, where seating capacity was restricted to about 25 percent to abide by COVID-19 guidelines.
The full 2020 MLB season was also shortened because of the pandemic, with just 60 games being played.
