This is the fourth meeting of the Cardinals and Red Sox in the World Series (previously meeting in 1946, 1967, and 2004). It is the first World Series since 1999 to pair the two teams with the best regular-season records in their respective leagues, and only the third in history (following the 1949 and 1958 Series) to feature two teams with identical regular-season records.
Because both teams share the best overall regular-season records in baseball, this will be only the fourth time since the introduction of the Division Series (1995) in which the team with the best regular-season record went on to win the World Series that season - the three previous occurrences being the 1998, 2007, and 2009 Series.
