Autumn has arrived, and with it, the most anticipated moment in baseball: the Fall Classic. After a season full of excitement, surprises and great plays, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays will face each other in the 2025 World Series, a matchup that promises spectacle, history and revenge.
Dodgers look to repeat glory
The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the World Series with morale sky high. The Angels swept the Milwaukee Brewers, the top seeds in the National League, demonstrating that their offensive prowess and pitching depth are still elite.
Led by Dave Roberts, the Dodgers aim to become the first team in 25 years to win back-to-back World Series titles, a feat that would cement their modern dynasty within Major League Baseball. With a roster that combines experience and youth, figures such as Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman lead a fearsome offense capable of punishing any opponent’s mistakes.
The Angels closed the regular season with a 93-69 record, just one win behind Toronto, leaving them without home advantage, but with extra motivation: to prove that the throne is still theirs.
Toronto dreams of 90s glory again
In the American League, the Toronto Blue Jays experienced a real epic in the Championship Series. They achieved a dramatic comeback in the seventh game against the Seattle Mariners, winning 4-3 and getting their ticket to the Fall Classic.
For Canadians, this World Series represents a historic opportunity: to win a title for the first time since 1993, when legends Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar led the team to the top. With a young and talented core led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette and Alek Manoah, the Blue Jays have found the perfect balance between offensive power and solidity on the mound.
Toronto finished the season with a 94-68 record, the best of the two finalists, giving them home advantage in the World Series.
