"For the first time in 32 years, the Toronto Blue Jays are finally back in the World Series. After dispatching their long-time division rival New York Yankees in the ALDS, along with their 2022 playoff nemesis Seattle Mariners in the ALCS, their greatest challenge is yet to come with the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers remaining in their path to the Holy Grail."
"There is apparently more of a difference when it came to the amount of home runs hit by both teams, with the Dodgers among the league's best with 244. The Blue Jays, on the other hand, blasted only 191 long balls. But that has a lot to do with their method of generating runs playing "Blue Jays style baseball", which focuses on the next man up in keeping the lineup rolling."
"When it comes to pitching though, the dsiscrepancy becomes a bit more evident. Both teams are closely matched in terms of ERA and WHIP. However, the Dodgers pitching staff are the best team in the business in striking out batters, while the Blue Jays are among the worst in giving up home runs. So it would be the Toronto hitters ability to avoid the strikeout versus the top strikeout pi"
The Toronto Blue Jays reached the World Series for the first time in 32 years after postseason wins over the Yankees and Mariners. The Los Angeles Dodgers enter as defending champions led by Shohei Ohtani. Regular-season offense was similarly strong, with Toronto slightly higher in batting average while Los Angeles produced more runs and a higher OPS. The Dodgers hit more home runs (244) versus Toronto's 191, while Toronto emphasizes a next-man-up lineup approach. Pitching shows similar ERA and WHIP, but the Dodgers lead the league in strikeouts while Toronto allows more home runs, creating a stylistic matchup.
