Los Angeles Defeats Houston
Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better.

It was the latter case in 2024, as the Los Angeles Dodgers topped the Houston Astros 6-3 tonight at Dodger Stadium to win the World Series. It was the 9th title in franchise history.

"When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said Los Angeles first baseman Freddie Freeman, who was named series MVP.

The Dodgers took the series 4-3. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the National League West Division and a 101-61 record.

Los Angeles manager Sam Saunders grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Freeman's words.

"Freddie said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said.

Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.
