"The Toronto Blue Jays, with a 4-3 win in Monday night's American League Championship Series Game 7 over the Seattle Mariners, are headed back to the World Series for the first time in more than 30 years. Their opponent: the $340 million buzzsaw known as the Los Angeles Dodgers. With the biggest payroll in baseball, the Dodgers are baseball's most successful franchise in recent years, with two World Series titles and five National League pennants over the past nine seasons."
"In the ALDS, Toronto's bats overwhelmed their division rival New York Yankees, pouring on 34 runs over four games. Still, Toronto needed all seven games of the ALCS to return to the World Series."
The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series to reach the World Series for the first time since 1993. The Blue Jays will face the Los Angeles Dodgers, a high-payroll team with two World Series titles and five National League pennants in the past nine seasons. Toronto finished the regular season 94-68 and topped the AL East after a turnaround from a last-place 2024 finish. Toronto outscored the New York Yankees by pouring on 34 runs across four ALDS games. The ALCS required seven games after the Mariners hit 14 home runs and produced dominant pitching to take early leads. The Mariners committed three errors in Game 6 and surrendered a late three-run home run in Game 7, allowing Toronto to rally.
