Chicago Cubs (92-70) vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (104-58)
In sports, they often say that in order to be a champion, you have to beat the champion. That's the opportunity presented to the Dodgers, who haven't been to a World Series since they won it in 1988.
Current Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts knows a thing or two about winning a World Series after a long drought, having done so as a player with the Boston Red Sox in 2004. He faces one of the kings of ending draughts in manager Joe Maddon, who led the 2016 Cubs to their first World Series victory since 1908.
