Who will play in the World Series 2025?

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays met in the 2025 World Series. The Dodgers entered as defending champions, while the Blue Jays made an unexpected run through the American League playoffs.

The matchup drew national attention as a potential dynasty clash. The Dodgers were seeking back-to-back titles, while the Blue Jays aimed for their first championship since 1993.

How did the Blue Jays lose Game 7?

The Blue Jays took a lead early in Game 7 but could not hold it. The Dodgers tied the game in the ninth inning on a home run by Miguel Rojas, according to Associated Press (wire service).

The game went to extra innings, and Will Smith hit a go-ahead home run in the 11th inning, according to Reuters. The home run was the first extra-inning home run in a winner-take-all title game, a historic detail noted by the Associated Press.

Shohei Ohtani was in the Dodgers’ batting order for Game 7, according to Associated Press (wire service). That detail matters because a Game 7 lineup is a team’s way of saying it is all-in on the players it trusts.

The Dodgers’ comeback from a 3-0 deficit in Game 7 underscored the fragility of a series lead. The Blue Jays were one out away from the championship but could not close it out.

What went wrong for the Blue Jays in 2025?

The Blue Jays led the series 3-2 after five games but lost the final two, including Game 7 at home. Their pitching staff, which had been effective early, faltered in the late innings of the decisive game.

Toronto’s Game 6 loss forced a Game 7, and they could not recover momentum. According to ESPN (sports analysis), the Dodgers controlled the final two games.

The Blue Jays’ inability to close out a series at home left them as runners-up. The loss extended a championship drought that dates back to 1993.

The numbers show a clear pattern: Toronto could not finish when it mattered. The Dodgers took advantage of every opportunity.

Are the Blue Jays out of the World Series?

Yes, the 2025 World Series concluded on November 1, 2025, with the Los Angeles Dodgers winning in seven games. The Blue Jays are no longer in the series, as it has ended.

The series result means the Dodgers repeated as champions, while the Blue Jays were left to rebuild after a near-miss.

Which is better, Dodgers or Blue Jays?

The Dodgers proved better in the 2025 World Series, winning four games to three. They also have recent titles (2024, 2025), while the Blue Jays have two historical championships (1992, 1993).

The head-to-head record in 2025 favors the Dodgers. They won the final two games, including Game 7 in extra innings.

The Blue Jays had the series in their grasp but could not finish. The Dodgers, by contrast, demonstrated resilience and execution under pressure.

In terms of recent dynasty potential, the Dodgers have the edge. The Blue Jays have work to do to match that level.
