Saturday's Yankees-Dodgers game on FOX reels in huge audience

Saturday night's Los Angeles Dodgers-New York Yankees game was must-watch television, reeling in nearly 3 million viewers for a star-studded contest.

The stars were out in the Bronx this weekend, and it was the hottest ticket in town and on television.

The Los Angeles Dodgers went east for a three-game set against the New York Yankees in a series that featured rosters with a combined six MVP Awards.

Over 48,000 people attended each game, and they got an awesome series. 

The Dodgers took the first two games, including an 11-inning thriller Friday, before the Yankees came from behind Sunday night to prevent a sweep.

Despite Saturday night being the lone dud (an 11-3 Dodgers victory), it was apparently a must-watch game.

FOX Sports announced Tuesday that Saturday's "Baseball Night in America" was the most-watched regular-season MLB telecast on any network since Sept. 22, 2022, with an average of 2.9 million viewers. That game was a 5-4 Yankees victory over the Boston Red Sox when Aaron Judge was trying to tie Roger Maris' AL record of 61 homers.

It was also the network's most-watched regular-season Saturday game since June 30, 2018, which was an 11-0 Boston win over the Bombers.

It wasn't a pretty night for the Yanks, as Teoscar Hernandez went deep twice, including a grand slam in the eighth inning that put the game away.

Saturday's game also featured a Dodger fan takeover, when 5,000 members of "Pantone 294," the fan club that's named after the color of the Dodgers logo, invaded Yankee Stadium.

A Yankees-Dodgers World Series matchup has the lowest betting odds at +500 (bet $100, win $500). It would be the first since 1981, but it would be their 12th meeting in the Fall Classic, which would extend their record.
