Will it truly be Yankees vs Dodgers in the World Series? Again?

Yankees vs Dodgers is the most common World Series matchup with 11 WS meetings between them.

Dodger fan here. I wouldn't count any chickens before they hatch. 3-1 is a good lead, but it's led to a series upset something like 14 times in MLB postseasons. And the Dodgers leading 3-2 is an even more tenuous situation than it appears. Game 6 will likely be a bullpen game, and game 7 will be Buehler, with maybe Yamamoto coming in relief if absolutely necessary. Today was LA's best remaining pitcher matchup, and the pitching staff couldn't record a single strikeout.

Also, it has been 11 times in over a century of baseball. It hasn't been a recent matchup that people would be tired of, it's just the usual complaints/griping about large market teams.
