The Los Angeles Dodgers are back in the World Series for a second consecutive year but to continue to wait on their opponent from the American League.
The Seattle Mariners failed to close out the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL Championship Series, and the teams are now playing Game 7 at Rogers Centre on Monday night.
Regardless of how that unfolds, and even if the Mariners had won the first AL pennant in franchise history on Sunday night, the Dodgers are guaranteed one full week off before they take the field for Game 1 of the World Series, which is set for Friday.
