Who Are The Main Contenders for World Series Glory in 2026?
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been the dominant force in baseball in recent years, winning each of the last two editions of the World Series. A true dynasty could be born in 2026, as they aim to become the first team since 2000 to win the championship in three straight years.
The New York Yankees are the most successful team in MLB history, winning the World Series a staggering 27 times. Therefore, the Yankees should be respected, despite crashing out in the Division Series against the Toronto Blue Jays last year.
The Toronto Blue Jays should also be respected, as they have shown incredible progression under John Schneider, reaching the World Series in 2025 for the first time since 1993.
Competing with the Dodgers in the National League is a daunting prospect, but the Philadelphia Phillies have shown progression under Rob Thomson. They have won the NL East title for the last two years. However, this year, they will be looking to avoid an early exit in the playoffs.
