"Coincidentally, or not, that was also the last time a Canadian team won the World Series, when a walk-off home run by ex-Cub Joe Carter off of ex-Cub Mitch Williams gave the Blue Jays a 4-2 win over the Phillies. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are attempting to become the first team to run the postseason table since the 1976 Reds went 7-0 against the Phillies and Yankees."
"I've got the Dodgers in four, though that means they will have to win Games 1 and 2 in Toronto on Friday and Saturday, a tall task. I assume Los Angeles will start Blake Snell and Shohei Ohtani in those games, so I'm giving them the edge. And how about Max Scherzer? Nobody partied harder than that guy after last night's win. He and Daniel Palencia would be unstoppable sharing the same clubhouse during any celebration."
Blue Jays reach the World Series aiming to bring the Commissioner's Trophy to Canada and avenge the country's Stanley Cup drought since 1993. 1993 was also the last Canadian World Series title when Joe Carter's walk-off off Mitch Williams gave Toronto a 4-2 win over Philadelphia. The Dodgers aim to sweep the postseason, a feat not seen since the 1976 Reds. Prediction favors the Dodgers in four, likely starting Blake Snell and Shohei Ohtani in Games 1 and 2 in Toronto. Max Scherzer could earn a third ring if the Blue Jays cannot stop Los Angeles. Cubs GM Jed Hoyer faces offseason choices including trades and free-agent signings.
