Strong ratings for Game 1
TV viewership for the World Series is up significantly over last year and was at its highest levels for a Game 1 since 2017, Fox announced today.
Dodgers have the historic advantage
After taking Game 1, the Dodgers are in the driver's seat. Since MLB adopted the best-of-seven format in the playoffs, teams winning the first game have won 65% of the series.
In the World Series, teams who have taken Game 1 have won the title 23 of 29 times since 1995, according to MLB.
Two of the times the Game 1 loser went on to win the World Series? The Yankees in 1996 and 2009. Both times the Yankees went on to win in six games.
