The Los Angeles Dodgers have played in a total of 24 World Series and have won 6, more than any other team in the National League and tied with the New York Yankees for second most of all time, behind only the San Francisco Giants who have played in 27 and won 8. The Yankees have played the Dodgers a total of 11 times in the World Series, with New York winning 8 times.
