Background
Attendance was capped at about a quarter of capacity, and the Dodgers were the designated home team because of their better regular-season record in the shortened 60-game season. The teams traded wins through the first four games; Clayton Kershaw won Games 1 and 5, and the Dodgers clinched with a 3-1 win in Game 6 on October 27, 2020. Shortstop Corey Seager, who went 8 for 20 with two home runs, was named MVP.
