Ohtani, Vlad ... and then who? Player rankings and superlatives for the 2025 World Series
"The Los Angeles Dodgers are the overwhelming favorites to win the 2025 World Series and become the first repeat champion in a quarter century. That doesn't mean they've cornered all the talent in this year's Fall Classic. In fact, the American League champion Toronto Blue Jays feature two of the top three players heading into the series and nearly half of our top 20."
"Shohei Ohtani, SP/DH, Dodgers Ohtani put up a combined 9.4 WAR in the regular season and is a huge favorite to win the National League MVP again. Then, he one-upped himself with one of the greatest athletic performances of all time: six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts and three home runs in the clinching game of the NL Championship Series."
Los Angeles Dodgers are heavy favorites to repeat as 2025 World Series champions. Toronto Blue Jays supply two of the top three players and nearly half of the top 20. Shohei Ohtani produced a combined 9.4 WAR, is the leading National League MVP candidate and delivered six scoreless innings, 10 strikeouts and three home runs in the NLCS clincher. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. posted 3.9 WAR despite poor ball-in-play luck and has been the postseason's hottest offensive player. George Springer led the Blue Jays in WAR and hit an iconic ALCS Game 7 homer. Dodgers starters include Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Blake Snell, who returned from shoulder inflammation and looked strong.
