Has any team come back from 3-0 in the World Series? How to watch game 4

Vaseline October 31, 2024

Editor’s note: This story has been updated with the results of Game 4 and the start time for Game 5.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will make a second attempt to close out the World Series on the road as they take a 3-1 lead in the series to Yankee Stadium for Game 5.

The New York Yankees avoided a sweep in Game 4, taking away an early lead before adding several runs late in an 11-4 victory that kept alive their hopes of becoming the first team to come back from a 3-0 World Series deficit.

The Yankees will try to force a Game 6 behind the arm of Gerrit Cole, who has performed excellently this postseason. Los Angeles will answer with Jack Flaherty, who hasn’t been very good this postseason.

The Yankees are a slight home favorite.

1981 World Series

The Dodgers captured the World Series title in 1981, defeating the New York Yankees in a six-game showdown. That was the last time these teams faced each other in a World Series until 2024.

Has any team ever come back from 3-0 in the World Series?

No club has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win the World Series, although a few teams have made impressive comeback attempts. Four teams have won two straight games to force a Game 6 after being down 3-0, and two of these teams pushed the series to Game 7, according to MLB.

Only one postseason team, the 2004 Boston Red Sox in the ALCS, has successfully completed the comeback.
