Why it matters:
A Game 7 is always the ultimate test: everything comes down to one winner‐takes‐all moment. For fans, it’s the highest drama.
The Dodgers are chasing back-to-back titles (and the first repeat champion in 25 years in MLB). A win would cement their status as the era’s dominant franchise.
For the Blue Jays, it’s their first appearance in Game 7 of a World Series. A win would end a long title drought.
Strategic choices matter: how both teams manage pitching, bullpen usage, fatigue, and the pressure of a one-game finale will define the outcome.
What to watch:
Who starts Game 7: will the Dodgers rely on Yamamoto again, or go elsewhere?
The bullpen matchup and how each team handles pressure in late innings.
Key defensive plays: in Game 6, a spectacular double play shifted the momentum; similar moments could decide Game 7.
The effect of home crowd in Toronto vs. the Dodgers’ experience in big moments.
In short: this is peak playoff baseball, and Game 7 promises to deliver an unforgettable finale.
