2024 World Series: Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Texas Rangers rematch?

MLB spring training is almost here and some early World Series predictions are starting to be unveiled.

MLB.com had a different spin on some possible World Series matchups in 2024.

It ranked the possible World Series rematches we could see in 2024, in light of the Super Bowl rematch football fans are getting on Feb. 11 between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs.

One potential rematch on MLB.com's list really caught our attention.

It ranked an Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Texas Rangers 2023 World Series rematch as the fifth-most likely possible rematch we could see in the 2024 Fall Classic.

Could it really happen?

Will Leitch wrote: "Is it possible that both of these teams will be better, start to finish, in 2024 than they were in 2023? Perhaps. That doesn’t necessarily make it likely they’ll return for the first back-to-back World Series matchup since the Dodgers and Yankees in 1977-78, but it’s certainly on the table."

Diamondbacks vs. Yankees rematch also ranked among potential 2024 World Series rematches

The four potential World Series rematches ahead of Arizona-Texas in the rankings?

MLB.com listed a 2017 World Series rematch between the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers as the most likely.

It was followed by an Atlanta Braves vs. Houston Astros 2021 World Series rematch, and then a 2020 rematch of the Dodgers vs. Tampa Bay Rays World Series.

A rematch of the 2020 World Series between the Astros and Philadelphia Phillies was ranked No. 4.

Interestingly, a Diamondbacks vs. New York Yankees rematch of the 2001 World Series came in at No. 8.

Now that would be interesting.
