World Series 2025 Kicks Off Tonight in Toronto
The 2025 World Series officially begins tonight, and the excitement is palpable. For the first time in history, the Toronto Blue Jays will face off against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a Fall Classic showdown that promises drama, power, and unforgettable moments. The opening game is scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern Time at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, and fans on both sides are buzzing with anticipation.
This series is being watched closely not just because of the historic matchup, but also due to the star power on display. Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers’ superstar who has amazed the league with his two-way dominance, is expected to shine. On the other side, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who has been having a postseason for the ages, will lead the Blue Jays’ charge. Both players are widely seen as frontrunners for the World Series MVP, and their performance could very well decide the series outcome.

The Dodgers enter the series as the defending champions, aiming to become the first team in 25 years to win back-to-back titles. They have been nearly unstoppable in October, winning nine of their ten playoff games so far. Their starting rotation, featuring Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and Ohtani himself, has been dominant, posting a stunning 1.40 ERA during the playoffs. While there are some questions about their bullpen, the starting pitchers have been so effective that the relievers have rarely been tested.
Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are battle-tested and highly motivated. They finished the regular season with the best record in the American League and have already overcome the New York Yankees in the Division Series and the Seattle Mariners in a thrilling seven-game AL Championship Series. Toronto will be relying on its combination of power and contact hitting, led by Guerrero Jr., to try and disrupt the Dodgers’ rhythm. Their home-field advantage is significant too, as the Jays have been formidable at Rogers Centre, particularly in October.
Analysts and MLB experts are split on predictions. Many are leaning toward the Dodgers because of their championship experience and overwhelming starting rotation, while others believe the Blue Jays’ young talent, team chemistry, and the support of their home crowd could tip the series in their favor. Series predictions range from five to seven games, with the MVP race expected to be tight between Ohtani and Guerrero Jr., reflecting the high stakes and immense talent on both rosters.
Tonight marks the start of what promises to be one of the most thrilling World Series in recent memory. With elite talent, historic storylines, and the intensity of playoff baseball, fans are set for a showdown that could go down in baseball history. Whether it’s the power of Guerrero Jr. or the all-around dominance of Ohtani, the spotlight is set, the stage is ready, and the world will be watching.
