When the Toronto Blue Jays drew the daunting juggernauts from the National League in the Los Angeles Dodgers for their World Series matchup, many believed that the series could be over fast. After all, the Dodgers were the reigning champions and equipped with their same star-studded lineup from last year in their chance to repeat in 2025.
As for the Blue Jays, they weren’t even considered to be a legitimate contender this season after finishing in last place in the American League East in 2024. As a result, they became the surprise of the MLB Playoffs to date, making it all the way to the World Series.
