The 2025 World Series is one of the most loved competitions in the country. This year, the Los Angeles Dodgers played against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Dodgers are among the more popular teams, leading the popular bet for the win. However, the Blue Jays still managed to surprise everyone.
They shocked everyone when they made it to the World Series. Just a few weeks ago, on October 20th, they made it all the way to Game 7 against the Seattle Mariners in the latest American League Championship Series. Although many expected them to lose, George Springer hit a three-run home run very late in the game, giving them the win and leading the team to the World Series. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. helped out a lot in these games as well.
On the other hand, the Los Angeles Dodgers run up to the World Series was much easier compared to the Blue Jays. The Dodgers won the World Series last year, so this year they set their course on continuing their winning streak. Many believe that the Dodgers have very favorable odds, thanks to players like Shohei Ohtani and others on their side. However, despite having an immense advantage over their opponents, they still had to sweat to claim this historic game.
It came down to game 7 of the World Series. Toronto was leading the game 4-3 going into the ninth inning. Most Blue Jays were already thinking about celebrating their win against the best team in the world, but Miguel Rojas hit a game-tying home run out of nowhere to take the game into overtime. In Overtime, Dodgers player Will Smith hit a solo home run, pushing it to 5-4 for the Dodgers. Then, Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto finished the game off with some spectacular pitching, which got him the World Series MVP award.
That night, the Dodgers made history by winning the World Series back-to-back for two years in a row, which is a fascinating achievement that very few teams could ever claim. The 2025 World Series will go down in history as one of the greatest baseball games played in the history of baseball, and we are excited to see what the next year brings.
