Blue Jays on the Brink of Glory as Dodgers Fight to Stay Alive in World Series
The 2025 World Series is heading back to Toronto, and the excitement couldn’t be higher. The Blue Jays are just one win away from their first championship since 1993, and Game 6 at the Rogers Centre promises to be electric. Fans in Toronto are ready to witness history, while the Dodgers are doing everything possible to force a Game 7 and keep their season alive.
The Blue Jays come into Game 6 with a 3–2 series lead after rebounding from that marathon 18-inning loss in Game 3. What followed was a showcase of grit — two strong wins built on dominant starting pitching and explosive hitting, the same formula that has carried Toronto all year. Meanwhile, the Dodgers find themselves in unfamiliar territory — struggling offensively and one loss away from elimination.

All eyes are on Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who’s been nothing short of sensational this postseason. His complete-game victory in Game 2 reminded fans why he’s considered one of the best pitchers in the world. He shut down Toronto’s lineup with his wicked splitter and curveball, retiring the final 20 batters he faced. Now, with the Dodgers’ backs against the wall, he’ll be asked to deliver one more heroic performance. But this time, he’ll be pitching in front of a fired-up Toronto crowd, and the pressure couldn’t be greater.
The Blue Jays, on the other hand, might be welcoming back their spark plug — George Springer. After missing two games with a side injury, Springer is expected to return to the starting lineup for Game 6. His leadership and postseason experience could be crucial, especially against a pitcher like Yamamoto.
Kevin Gausman will take the mound for Toronto, looking to build on his solid but unlucky Game 2 outing, where a couple of Dodgers’ home runs spoiled what was otherwise a strong start. With Toronto’s offense clicking and the bullpen performing steadily, Gausman has every reason to feel confident this time around.
For Los Angeles, though, the concern is clear — their lineup has gone cold. Shohei Ohtani has carried much of the load, but the rest of the Dodgers’ hitters have struggled to find consistency. Manager Dave Roberts has tried shuffling his lineup, but the results have been discouraging, including a 15-strikeout performance in Game 5. If the Dodgers are going to extend this series, their offense has to wake up — and fast.
This Game 6 feels like a turning point, not just for this World Series but for both franchises. For Toronto, it’s the chance to end a 32-year wait and celebrate a championship at home. For the Dodgers, it’s a test of resilience, experience, and pride. Whether we witness the Blue Jays’ coronation or a Dodgers resurgence that forces a dramatic Game 7, one thing’s for sure — baseball fans everywhere are in for a thrilling night.
