The excitement of the World Series is upon us between the Los Angeles Dodgers, two-time National League champions, and the American League champions, the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a first-ever matchup at this stage, so excitement is expected.
The Dodgers have had impressive postseason runs, defeating the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card Round, the Philadelphia Phillies in the Division Series, and the team with the best record in MLB, the Milwaukee Brewers, in the Finals in four games. Their pitching has responded in crucial moments with Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
The Toronto Blue Jays, meanwhile, won the Division Series against the New York Yankees and rallied in the ALCS after losing the first two games against the Seattle Mariners to try to dethrone the Dodgers.
