Let's face it: the 2018 World Series, between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox, doesn't exactly ooze charm. This matchup of coastal metropoles features the team with the highest team payroll in the league — Boston, at around $228 million — against a club clocking in at number three — the Dodgers, who shelled out nearly $200 million to win the National League pennant. Boston's been awash in championships, and another one will spark millions of eye rolls outside of New England.
