by · CBS Sports

The New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers are back in the World Series. The storied franchises' have won their respective pennants and are set to square off for the 12th time. It's the face-off between the two faces of Major League Baseball in Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani

The Yankees won the AL East, then took down the Kansas City Royals in the ALDS and the Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS. This is their first Fall Classic since 2009, when they beat the Philadelphia Phillies to secure their 27th championship.

The Dodgers, on the other hand, won the NL West, then beat the San Diego Padres in the NLDS and the New York Mets in the NLCS. They've made the World Series four times since 2017, winning it all in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

Here now is what you need to know about each team in the World Series:

World Series storylines

Yankees: For most franchises, a 15-year World Series drought would be laughed out of the room. For the Yankees, it's been a dark cloud hanging over the team -- and general manager Brian Cashman -- for more than a decade. Maybe they were just biding their time. The lineup is stacked with sluggers: Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Giancarlo Stanton. Can they power their way to a 28th championship?

Dodgers: The Dodgers may not have been the world killers that everyone expected when they opened the season with Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and more. That said, 98 regular-season wins is nothing to scoff at, nor is taking down the Padres and the Mets to get here. I'm reluctant to ever say World Series or bust, but this was a team put together with rings (note the plural) in mind. The Dodgers played like winners all year. Now it's time to finish the job.
