The Los Angeles Dodgers have taken the series lead in the 2025 World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Dodgers won Game 3 on Monday night in a marathon thanks to an 18th-inning walk-off home run by Freddie Freeman. Shohei Ohtani, who got on base nine times in Game 3, will take the mound for Game 4 Tuesday night across from Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber.
The Dodgers are trying to become the first back-to-back World Series champions since the 1998-2000 New York Yankees. The Blue Jays are looking for their first title since back-to-back wins in 1992 and 1993.
The Jays punched their ticket to the Fall Classic with an ALCS Game 7 win over the Seattle Mariners. This is Toronto’s first World Series appearance since 1993, when they won their second consecutive title. The Dodgers thoroughly dismantled the Milwaukee Brewers, owners of MLB’s best record during the regular season, in the NLCS to return to the World Series. They are the first defending champion to reach the World Series the next season since the 2008-09 Philadelphia Phillies, and, in more than a few ways, this year’s Dodgers are better than last year’s.
The Blue Jays (94-68) have home-field advantage over the Dodgers (93-69) in the World Series because they had the better regular-season record. Here now is the schedule for the 2025 World Series. All games can be streamed on fubo (try for free).

Game 4 storylines
Dodgers: Shohei Ohtani made World Series history at the plate in Game 3 and now he’ll turn around and take the mound in Game 4. Did you expect any less? After the Game 3 marathon, the Dodgers bullpen is all but nonexistent and they’ll need Ohtani to be the superhero he’s proven himself to be time and again.
Blue Jays: The pitchers are exhausted. The hitters are exhausted and banged up. The name of Game 4 is just survive.
Game 4 prediction
Everyone on both teams is tired after the Game 3 marathon, but only one team has Shohei Ohtani, who seems superhuman. The Dodgers will ride Ohtani’s golden right arm (and his bat) to a tightly contested Game 4 win that will not require 18 innings. — Mike Axisa
