Winner-Take-All: A Champion Will Be Crowned in Los Angeles
The 2025 MLB season comes down to one final game. After a grueling season and a hard-fought postseason, the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers will face off in a decisive Game 7 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium. With the “final first pitch of the season” scheduled for 8:00 PM EST, one team will hoist the Commissioner’s Trophy, while the other will be left to wonder what might have been.
The Dodgers, playing in front of their home crowd, are the heavy betting favorites at -207. The resilient Blue Jays, who have defied expectations to get here, enter as +168 underdogs, a role they’ve embraced throughout their playoff run.
The Pitching Matchup: Veteran Ace vs. Gutsy Right-Hander
Toronto Blue Jays: Trey Yesavage (RHP)The Blue Jays hand the ball to right-hander Trey Yesavage in the biggest game of his life. Thrust into the ultimate pressure cooker, Yesavage is tasked with silencing a notoriously potent Dodgers lineup in a hostile environment. Toronto has relied on its grit and timely pitching to get this far, and they’ll need Yesavage to deliver the performance of the season to pull off the upset.
Los Angeles Dodgers: Blake Snell (LHP)To secure a championship on their home turf, the Dodgers turn to their veteran ace, lefty Blake Snell. A proven big-game pitcher, Snell is exactly who Los Angeles wants on the mound with everything on the line. After battling through a season where their pitching staff was often described as “depleted,” the Dodgers will lean on Snell’s experience and strikeout ability to shut down the Blue Jays and anchor the final victory.
Path to Game 7
Toronto Blue Jays: The Blue Jays are the definition of battle-tested. Their journey to the World Series included a dramatic Game 7 victory over the Seattle Mariners in the ALCS. They have overcome injuries to key players throughout the year, including a knee sprain that threatened Bo Bichette’s availability for the postseason. Their ability to rally and win high-stakes games has been their trademark, and they won’t be intimidated by the moment.
Los Angeles Dodgers: The Dodgers entered the season with championship-or-bust expectations, and despite numerous hurdles, they are one win away from meeting them. The club has managed a lengthy list of injuries all season, with stars like Mookie Betts, Will Smith, and Tommy Edman all dealing with ailments at various points. Their depth and talent have been on full display, allowing them to weather the storm and earn home-field advantage for this decisive final game.
Prediction
This is what baseball fans dream of: a Game 7 with a title on the line. The Blue Jays have the momentum of an underdog that refuses to lose, and their tough road here proves they can win under pressure. If Yesavage can keep the Dodgers’ bats in check for the first few innings, Toronto’s confidence will only grow.
However, the challenge may be too great. The Dodgers are at home, boast a lineup filled with All-Stars, and have their ace on the mound. Blake Snell has the pedigree to dominate in a moment like this, and the Dodger offense is built to capitalize on any mistake. While the Blue Jays have shown incredible heart, the combination of talent, experience, and home-field advantage gives Los Angeles a clear edge. Expect a tense, hard-fought game, but in the end, the Dodgers’ star power will shine through.
Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers 5, Toronto Blue Jays 3
The Pick: Dodgers -207
