"The Blue Jays have advanced to the World Series for the first time since 1993, with a gigantic final test looming against the Los Angeles Dodgers starting this Friday. The defending champions have produced one of the most impressive playoff runs in recent memory, going 7-1, including a sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS. They are looking to win another World Series championship, which would be their third title since 2020."
"Los Angeles boasted the fifth-best starting rotation in the majors by ERA in the regular season (3.69), and they've been on a whole other level in the playoffs. The addition of a no-limitations Shohei Ohtani to the trio of Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Tyler Glasnow has combined for a minuscule 1.40 ERA in the playoffs thus far. The Blue Jays' lineup has proven that they can hit top-flight pitching this postseason,"

The Dodgers enter as defending champions with a dominant playoff starting rotation featuring Shohei Ohtani, Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Tyler Glasnow, combining for a 1.40 postseason ERA. The Blue Jays ranked third in MLB regular-season OPS (.760) and have hit well in the playoffs, but saw only 3.77 pitches per plate appearance (27th). The Dodgers' bullpen ranked 21st during the season and has struggled in the postseason, offering a tactical target.
