Los Angeles Dodgers vs LA Angels

This crosstown rivalry landed in the 5th best spot for one because they are both LA teams. When they play each other it is called the Freeway Series and it lives up to the hype.

With this rivalry these two actually could face each other in the World Series. Usually the Dodgers don’t have trouble making the post-season.

They just have trouble advancing to the World Series as they usually exit one series before the big game. Both teams when healthy make the playoffs.

Each team usually advances deep but just can’t get to the big game. Maybe in 2017 we will see these two in the World Series who knows?

The Angels need to stay healthy while the Dodgers need to just improve their team chemistry. Is 2017 the year the Dodgers win it all?
