The 2025 World Series has finally arrived, and this year’s matchup couldn’t be more different from last season’s heavyweight showdown. Instead of two powerhouses colliding, we’ve got a true David vs. Goliath storyline on our hands.
The Dodgers once again stand tall as baseball’s modern-day colossus, chasing history as they aim to become the first team since the late-90s Yankees to capture back-to-back championships.
Their 93-win regular season may not have screamed dominance, but make no mistake, this team has flipped the switch when it matters most. After cruising through October like a runaway train, the Dodgers look every bit the juggernaut their payroll suggests.
Through the first three rounds of the postseason, Los Angeles has gone a staggering 9-1, dismantling the Reds, Phillies, and Brewers in ruthless fashion. If they sweep the Blue Jays in the Fall Classic, they’ll etch their names into the record books with the best postseason winning percentage in modern MLB history.
The Blue Jays, however, won’t go quietly. Despite finishing with a better regular-season record, Toronto enter the series as the clear underdogs after a grueling seven-game ALCS against the Seattle Mariners. They’ve shown resilience and heart, but they now face baseball’s ultimate machine.
And beyond the diamond, the stakes feel even bigger. Critics have accused the Dodgers of “buying baseball,” pointing to their sky-high payroll as proof that competitive balance is slipping away. Some voices around the league are even warning that if the Blue Jays can’t topple L.A., a labor showdown, maybe even a lockout, could be looming in 2027.
Here’s everything you need to know about the World Series matchup between the Blue Jays and the Dodgers, including how to listen to the broadcast on radio.
