Dodgers’ World Series Opponent Revealed: Here’s Everything You Need to Know
The World Series is officially set. The Los Angeles Dodgers will be facing off against the Toronto Blue Jays in the Fall Classic.
In a winner-takes-all Game 7 to decide the American League pennant, Blue Jays took down the Seattle Mariners to advance to the World Series.

The Mariners took a convincing 2-0 series lead, winning both on the road, but the Toronto Blue Jays won the next two road games as well. Seattle took Game 5, but as the series came back to Canada, the Blue Jays took Game 6 and forced the series-clinching Game 7. George Springer hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Toronto a 4-3 lead, and the score stayed the same for the remainder of the game.
The World Series begins Friday evening in Toronto.

The 94-win Blue Jays are a feared team around the league, and for good reason.
They ran through the regular season behind the talents of the aforementioned Springer, who hit .309 this season with an OPS of .959, a bWAR of 4.8, and smashed 32 home runs. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the slugging first baseman of the Blue Jays, hit .292 with 23 home runs and 84 RBIs.
Toronto’s pitching staff is headlined by 34-year-old right-hander Kevin Gausman (a former Dodgers draft pick) who totaled a 3.59 ERA this season across 193 innings of work. He struck out 189 batters and walked just 50 through 32 starts.
Some of the other talented players on this deep Blue Jays roster include All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette, hitting .311 with 94 RBIs, and veteran Max Scherzer.

The three-time Cy Young award winner is in year No. 18, and after showing some struggles in the regular season, had a solid start in Game 4 of the ALCS.
This is set to be another electric Fall Classic as these two powerhouses will get to play on the biggest stage, and the Dodgers will look to become baseball’s first back-to-back champions in a quarter century.
