The Dodgers became the first back-to-back World Series champs since the Yankees won three in a row from 1998 to 2000. In addition, L.A. won its third championship in the past six years. 

The Blue Jays nearly had other ideas, and after falling behind 2-1 in the series, with two consecutive games remaining in Los Angeles, Toronto won two in a row to take a 3-2 lead, going back to Toronto with two chances to close it out. 

But they just couldn’t get it done.

The Dodgers, of course, are favored to win it all ahead of the 2026 season, just like they were ahead of the 2025 season. Second on the board are the Yankees (who the Jays defeated in the ALDS this year), and third are the Phillies (who the Dodgers defeated in the NLDS this year).

At 10th on the board is Toronto.

Benches Clear in World Series Game 7 After Giménez Is Hit by Pitch

The level of competition is high in Game 7 of the World Series, and so are tensions — clearly.

Benches cleared in the fourth inning of Saturday’s Game 7 after Dodgers reliever Justin Wrobleski’s errant pitch hit Blue Jays shortstop Andrés Giménez on the wrist.

Wrobleski and Giménez exchanged words in the heat of the moment, and their teammates came rushing to the scene shortly after. However, the skirmish was short-lived, as the umpire broke it up in quick succession and Giménez walked to first base.

The Blue Jays got their payback the very next at-bat with George Springer sending one right up the middle for a single.

Wrobleski was taken out of the game for Tyler Glasnow, but the inning ended without the Blue Jays building on their 3-1 lead.

World Series Controversy as Shohei Ohtani Takes His Time Warming Up

Shohei Ohtani is the only player in baseball who could cause the controversy that he did during Game 7 of the World Series.

Ohtani made the final out in the top of the third inning with a lineout to left fielder Nathan Lukes, and then he had to go pitch. So, he went to the dugout and took his time getting back out to the mound.

Normally, pitchers get a fixed amount of time or number of pitches to warm up for an inning. Because Ohtani made the last out and was making a transition from hitting to pitching, he got some extra time to warm up.

The Blue Jays were not happy. Manager John Schneider was pointing toward his wrist as if to say Ohtani was getting too much time.

Mark Carlson talked about why Shohei Ohtani was granted more warm up time in-between innings.

MLB rules expert Mark Carlson was on the FOX broadcast during the postseason from the MLB replay center and clarified the rule.

“Shohei is obviously a unique player as a two-way player,” Carlson said. “As a pitcher, if he ends the inning on base or on deck, he gets the discretion of the umpires to allow him to have the appropriate time to pitch.”

But was he milking it?

“This is the World Series. You don’t want to take the potential of a pitcher being injured and rushing and getting back out there,” Carlson said. “I understand that there are timelines, but because it’s the World Series, I think you take the proactive approach.”

Well, the extra time to warm up didn’t work out for Ohtani. The fourth batter of the inning was Bo Bichette, who hit a three-run home run to give the Blue Jays a 3-0 lead.
