Interesting. Immediately after reading the above I was thinking, "isn't it honestly just more fun if there's at least one perpetual participant (PP) vs a non-PP?". However, assuming the Dodgers and Yankees are PPs that we don't normally root for and the Mariners and Brewers are non-PPs we also don't normally root for, I think this is how I'd rank them (from most preferred to least):
Mariners-Brewers
Yankees-Brewers
Mariners-Dodgers
Dodgers-Yankees
I would really like to see a Mariners-Brewers WS, but of course some people might be different, some might rather see at least one PP. I was surprised by how many people complained about last year's WS as I enjoyed it immensely, or at least I did the first few games before it seemed like the Yankees had no chance of coming back.
The absolute worst WS match-up to me would just be the two teams with the worst attendance numbers. No offense to the die-hard fans who support their team through thick and thin, I'd just like to see as many people happy as possible. My ideal WS match-up would, of course, just be Jays vs anyone as they're the team I primarily root for.
