"By now we are a couple days into the baseball game drought between the championship series and the World Series. I assume this is to take advantage of Friday and Saturday, and to avoid Sunday due to the NFL, but that is a larger gap than I recall since there is usually only one off day for travel between the potential end of the later CS and the start of the World Series."
"Anyway, we know the Toronto Blue Jays, who made the Mariners and their fans miserable again after Game Seven, will host the Dodgers, who did the same to Milwaukee fans by sweeping the Brewers, who decided to troll the Cubs after going the distance against the North Siders. It's interesting too because in the history of championship matchups between one team that swept against another team that went the full seven, the latter team has always won."
"I don't know for sure that this will happen in 2025, given that the Dodgers finally got all their key arms healthy at the right time and the offense can still score, while the Toronto pitching has seemed a bit iffy. It should be a good one, even if the Cubs aren't involved, as either Canada wins a big prize after many years, or the Dodgers accelerate a lockout because the richest team has won again or something. It could go either way."
There is a larger-than-usual gap between the championship series and the World Series, likely scheduled to take advantage of Friday and Saturday and to avoid Sunday because of the NFL. The Toronto Blue Jays will host the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. The Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners in Game Seven; the Dodgers swept the Milwaukee Brewers, who had gone the distance against the Chicago Cubs. Historically, when one finalist swept and the other went seven games, the seven-game team has always won the championship. The Dodgers have regained key arms and possess scoring ability, while Toronto's pitching has appeared inconsistent. The outcome remains uncertain.
