2025 World Series: Dodgers-Blue Jays Schedule, Preview, and How to Watch
The MLB Championship is called the World Series, but most seasons, it would be more accurate to call it the “American Series.” Not this year. The Toronto Blue Jays are returning to the Fall Classic for the first time in 32 years when they take on the defending title holders Los Angeles Dodgers in what should be the most exciting showdown between the two cities since the Drake / Kendrick Lamar beef. Will the Dodgers prove that the Jays are “Not Like Us,” or is Toronto simply “Too Good”? We’ll soon find out, as the 2025 World Series gets underway Friday, Oct. 24 on FOX.

Los Angeles Dodgers World Series Preview
Despite Toronto owning home field advantage, the Dodgers are heavy betting favorites to go back-to-back (DraftKings currently has L.A. at -215 odds, with Toronto fetching +180). It’s not hard to understand why: The Dodgers have Shohei Ohtani, the consensus pick for best player on the planet. In fact, with his 10-strikeout, three home run performance in Game 4 of the NLCS, the current debate is if he might be the best player in the 150 year history of Major League Baseball. There will be time enough to settle those arguments, but for now, we can all agree that Ohtani is a completely unique player that every team would love to have. The issue is affording a star of his caliber, and the Dodgers are blessed with a deep-pocketed ownership group that allowed them to sign not only Ohtani but star pitchers like Blake Snell, who joined the Dodgers this offseason and has an absurd 0.86 ERA in his three postseason starts. Amazingly, despite all their talent at the plate, the Dodgers’ biggest strength might be their starting pitching. In addition to Snell and Ohtani, L.A. has Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1.83 ERA this postseason), and Tyler Glasnow (0.68 ERA this postseason). We still haven’t mentioned the Dodgers reigning World Series MVP Freddie Freeman, a lefty who could feast on the Blue Jays’ all righty starting rotation. So yeah, there’s a reason why L.A. is heavily favored this year: With five World Series appearances and two wins since 2017, we’re in the midst of a Dodgers Dynasty.
Toronto Blue Jays World Series Preview
We wrote a lot of kind words about the Dodgers, but Toronto also deserves a ton of credit for their World Series run. They smacked around their AL East rival New York Yankees in the Divisional Round, then gritted out a seven-game series against a Seattle Mariners team that has been starving for a World Series appearance (sadly, the hunger continues). With their determination and perseverance, Toronto has left no doubt they’re the best team in the American League. It all starts with ALCS MVP Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who is quickly becoming a national treasure to those who reside north of the border. In the seven games against Seattle, Guerrero struck out only twice, and he’s hitting an insane .442 in the postseason. Add in the clutch hitting of George Springer – who won World Series MVP for the Houston Astros when they faced the Dodgers in the 2017 championship – plus the return of Bo Bichette AND Hall of Fame pitcher Max Scherzer and Toronto has a variety of weapons, to say nothing of the electric atmosphere of the Rogers Centre. The Dodgers deserve to be favored heading into the World Series, but we wouldn’t be shocked if the passion of the Blue Jays and their fans lifts them enough to pull off the upset.
