This week in baseball is crazy. In the National League the Dodgers have already clinched and are just waiting for the other team. The American League Champion will be decided in a great way to start the 2025 World Series on Friday.
If you’re a baseball fan you need to clear your schedule. With that said here are the matchups you have to watch:
Seattle Mariners at Toronto Blue Jays — Game 7, Monday
Win or go home for both teams. The Blue Jays forced a Game 7 with a big Game 6 performance and now we have one of the best series of the year. The winner gets the American League pennant and a ticket to the World Series against the Dodgers.
The Mariners are looking for their first World Series appearance ever, the Blue Jays for their first since 1993. Both teams have been through close games, clutch homers and bullpen duels to get here and Monday night’s Game 7 will decide who survives October.
World Series: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. AL Champion — Game 1, Friday
The Fall Classic begins. The Dodgers, fresh off winning the NL pennant, open the World Series at Dodger Stadium against the newly crowned AL champion. Game 1 sets the tone for the entire series. From ace pitching matchups to the first clutch hits of October.
The Dodgers have been one of the best franchises in MLB the last decade and they’ll be under pressure to start strong at home. Whether it’s against Toronto’s power lineup or Seattle’s resilient rotation Game 1 will feature two of the best built teams in baseball going head to head on the biggest stage.
World Series: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. AL Champion — Game 2, Saturday
Game 2 of the Fall Classic is often just as important as Game 1. It’s the chance for the challenger to even things up or for the favorite to take control before the series shifts venues.
By Game 2 the managerial chess match is in full swing, bullpen usage, lineup changes and pitcher fatigue all come into play.
