Dodgers force game 7 in search of second straight World Series tittle

The 2025 World Series reaches its dramatic finale Saturday night at Rogers Centre, with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays deadlocked at 3–3. After six games of pure October chaos, only one team leaves with champagne — and the other leaves wondering what might’ve been.

This Fall Classic has had everything: late-inning comebacks, a record-setting 18-inning marathon, and a rookie star turn from Trey Yesavage in Game 5 that nearly pushed Toronto to glory. But Los Angeles refused to fold — Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman powered the defending champs to a Game 6 victory, forcing this final clash for the ages.

Both managers are keeping their rotations close to the vest. The Dodgers could turn to Tyler Glasnow, but all eyes are on whether Ohtani might appear in relief — his first mound action since September.

For Toronto, expect a “staff day” approach anchored by José Berríos and a quick hook to the bullpen if needed.

Key Matchups:

• Ohtani vs. Guerrero Jr. — Power versus power, Japan vs. the Dominican Republic, global superstardom on full display.

• Bullpen depth — After 63 innings already thrown this series, the fresher arms may decide it.

• Defense & small ball — On Rogers Centre turf, one error or extra 90 feet could rewrite history.

A win gives Toronto its first championship since 1993, and etches Guerrero Jr. into franchise legend status beside Joe Carter.

For Los Angeles, it’s a chance to go back-to-back, validating the Ohtani experiment and cementing this core as one of baseball’s modern dynasties.

Tomorrow night, everything is on the line. No tomorrows, no ifs. Just glory — or heartbreak.
