How many games do you have to win in the World Series?

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a 3-0 lead over the New York Yankees in the World Series with Game 4 set for Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium

NBC Universal, Inc.

The Los Angeles Dodgers enter Tuesday night's World Series Game 4 one win (27 outs) away from capturing the team's first full-season championship in more than 30 years.

But first the Dodgers must enter Yankee Stadium for Game 4 where the Bronx Bombers are determined to avoid the sweep and extend the series.

For that to happen, they'll need stronger performances on offense from the lineup, including Aaron Judge.
