"Hey, I picked the Blue Jays in seven, and one of the main reasons I went with them has come into play: concern about the Dodgers' bats. They're hitting just .201 in the World Series and .236 overall in the postseason (and .214 since the start of the NLDS, while averaging just 3.5 runs per game). It feels like unless Shohei Ohtani is hitting the ball over the fence, they're going to have problems scoring runs."
"I wouldn't have been surprised if presented with this scenario before the series started since I picked the Blue Jays to win in seven games. But I thought Toronto was in trouble after not only losing Game 3 in that fashion but losing George Springer to injury. The Blue Jays bouncing back from those two setbacks -- beating Shohei Ohtani in Game 4 before Trey Yesavage made more history in Game 5 -- was beyond impressive."
The Toronto Blue Jays lead the 2025 World Series 3-2 and will host Game 6 at Rogers Centre with one win from dethroning the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dodgers offense has struggled, hitting .201 in the World Series and .236 in the postseason, averaging 3.5 runs per game, with Mookie Betts 3-for-23 and limited hard-contact outcomes. Shohei Ohtani remains the primary threat for Los Angeles. Toronto overcame losing Game 3 and George Springer to injury, beating Ohtani in Game 4 and benefiting from Trey Yesavage’s historic Game 5 performance. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been Toronto’s most consistent and dominant postseason hitter.
