MLB is having a field day with this. Two major US cities, past histories of hatred between them in several sports, all the offseason drama, plus the unfinished business from last offseason. It's a media dream.
Of course, I don't know if it would be the "best" rivalry in sports, since you can make arguments for Michigan-Ohio State, Army-Navy, Duke-North Carolina, Dodgers-Giants, Vikings-Packers, Steelers-Browns, and probably a few others.
It's definatly near the top, though.
