The two teams will meet in Game 6 on Tuesday night at Globe Life Field.
The World Series championship has been elusive for the Dodgers, who are appearing in their third World Series in the past four season and are still looking for their first win in that stretch.
The Dodgers have played in 20 World Series competitions but haven’t won the Series since 1988.
This is second appearance by the Rays in the World Series, having lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008.
The matchup between the team comes during an unprecedented Series, with limits on how many fans can attend due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
