The World Series goes truly global on Friday when the Los Angeles Dodgers face the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1 of the Fall Classic.
L.A. is seeking dynasty validation, while the Jays are chasing their first crown in 32 years. The stakes couldn't be higher, and every pitch will be packed with the kind of pressure that only October baseball can deliver.

Dodgers vs Blue Jays series winner prediction
Pick: Dodgers (-265 at Caesars)
The market is telling you L.A. is the stronger team and the more versatile one, and I agree.
The Dodgers can roll out star-level bats one through six and still bring plus hitters off the bench, and they have multiple frontline starters plus a deep, miss-bat bullpen, which is exactly the profile that tends to win short series.
On the field, the Dodgers have more ways to win: they can slug (Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, and Will Smith), string together on-base traffic, or shorten games with leverage arms. At the top of the rotation, names like Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Blake Snell give them true Game 1/2 firepower, and they have enough swingmen to absorb a shaky start or extra-inning game without burning tomorrow’s plan.
That flexibility dovetails with their lineup’s mix of patience and power, which tends to tilt plate appearances in October—running up pitch counts, getting into the soft middle of the opponent’s staff, and creating the crooked inning that decides a game.
Toronto is absolutely live—those +225 odds still imply roughly a one-in-three shot once you account for juice—and the route to an upset is clear: ride Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer for early leads, lean on top starters to get deep, and keep the ball in the yard to deny L.A.’s big swings.
If the Jays control walks and win the defense-and-baserunning margins, they can stretch this. But over a best-of-seven, the Dodgers’ superior depth and multiple high-end arms make them the sound pick.
Dodgers vs Blue Jays total series games prediction
Pick: Dodgers 4-1 (+320 at Caesars)
Why five and not a sweep? The Dodgers’ depth (top-to-bottom lineup plus multiple frontline starters and leverage relievers) typically creates at least one blowup inning or bullpen mismatch per game, while Toronto’s frontline arms and middle-order pop are good enough to snag one—most plausibly an early road split or a tight home game decided by a homer.
Over a best-of-seven, L.A.’s ability to pressure pitch counts, control platoon matchups, and shorten games late should tilt four of the first five their way more often than not.
Best prop bet for Dodgers vs Blue Jays
Pick: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to hit 2+ home runs in the series (-120 at Caesars)
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. thrives in short samples. He pairs elite hard-hit rates with ideal launch angles, creating true multi-homer upside. The Dodgers' righty-heavy staff gives him platoon balance, and he crushes premium velocity.
If Toronto grabs early leads, he'll earn maximum plate appearances, including ninth-inning looks against non-closer relievers. Park factors aren't prohibitive, and his postseason approach—aggressive in-zone swings, fewer chases—turns early-count heaters into lofted damage.
Two long balls can come from one locked-in night and one mistake later. That payout reflects realistic variance and concentrated Blue Jays offense.

World Series MVP prediction
Pick: Shohei Ohtani (+140 at Caesars)
Shohei Ohtani is the clear betting favorite to take World Series MVP, and the case is simple: no one affects a series in more ways, or on more days.
In the NLCS clincher he authored an all-timer—three home runs and 10 strikeouts in six scoreless innings—to finish a sweep and lock up NLCS MVP, the exact kind of signature, series-shaping performance voters remember when they fill out the WS MVP ballot.
Even before that, his NLDS set the table: Ohtani won Game 1 on the mound with 6 IP, 9 K despite a tough night at the plate, then chipped in an RBI single in Game 2 as L.A. jumped to a 2–0 lead and ultimately beat Philadelphia 3–1 on a wild Game 4 finish.
That blend of front-line starting, middle-order thump, and timely production, paired with the Dodgers’ juggernaut context gives him the best paths to stack World Series counting stats and narrative moments, which is exactly how this award is won.
