Dodgers Plan to ‘Leave It All Out There’ With Jays One Win Away From History
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have the chance to make history on Friday night — and they’re just one win away from doing it at home. Up 3–2 in the World Series, Toronto can capture its first championship since 1993 when they host the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 6 at Rogers Centre.
The setting is eerily familiar. Both of Toronto’s titles came in dramatic Game 6 finishes — in 1992 against Atlanta in extra innings and in 1993 with Joe Carter’s legendary walk-off home run. Now, three decades later, the Jays can clinch again in front of a packed, roaring crowd.
For the Dodgers, it’s do-or-die. A year after storming back from the brink in the NLDS against San Diego, Los Angeles faces elimination once again — this time on baseball’s biggest stage. Manager Dave Roberts knows there’s no room for hesitation: “It’s fight or flight. You’ve got to leave it all out there.”

History on Toronto’s Side
The Blue Jays have been here before — and thrived. Toronto is 5–2 all-time in Game 6 scenarios, and this series has followed a similar rhythm to their previous championship runs: clutch hitting, elite starting pitching, and home-field energy that refuses to fade.
Toronto’s rookie phenom Trey Yesavage stole the show in Game 5, striking out 12 Dodgers and allowing just three hits over seven innings. His dominance shifted the series’ momentum, and with Kevin Gausman back on the mound, the Jays trust their ace to seal the deal.
“Rogers Centre is going to be electric,” Gausman said. “It’s everything you want — the crowd, the energy, the stakes. That’s why we play.”
The Jays’ lineup, led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette, has been explosive throughout October. Both sluggers homered in Game 5, and if George Springer returns from a side injury as expected, Toronto’s offense becomes even more dangerous.

Dodgers Lean on Yamamoto for Survival
The Dodgers will again turn to Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3–1, 1.57 ERA), who delivered a masterclass in Game 2 with a complete-game four-hitter, retiring his final 20 batters.
“Yes, it gave me confidence,” Yamamoto said. “But now my mind is reset — just focus on the new game.”
Yamamoto will face Kevin Gausman (2–2, 2.55 ERA) in a rematch that could define the 2025 season. Both pitchers were sharp in Game 2, trading zeros deep into the night before Toronto pulled ahead late.
Los Angeles desperately needs its lineup to wake up. The Dodgers are hitting just .201 in the World Series, outscored 29–18, and have looked uncomfortable against Toronto’s deep pitching staff. Stars Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman must find their rhythm quickly if LA hopes to force a Game 7.
“We’ve got to win one game,” Roberts said. “It’s one-on-one, hitter versus pitcher. Compete and fight. That’s it.”

Matchup Breakdown
This series has been defined by elite pitching — and clutch hitting when it counts. Both teams’ starters have been stellar, but Toronto’s bullpen and defensive execution have set them apart.
If Yamamoto duplicates his Game 2 dominance, the Dodgers have a path to Game 7. But if Toronto strikes early and Gausman settles in, the Jays’ lineup can ride the crowd’s energy to a championship celebration.
Toronto’s offensive patience has paid off all postseason, and with Yesavage and the bullpen fully rested, Schneider’s club is positioned perfectly for a closeout performance.
