A Historic Matchup: Ohtani vs. Scherzer
The matchup has a movie-like script as, on one hand, the Dodgers will send their two-way superstar, Shohei Ohtani, to the mound with only three days of rest. On the other hand, the Blue Jays will trust 41-year-old veteran Max Scherzer, who will start a World Series Game 7 for the second time, something only three pitchers have done in history.
Shohei Ohtani (Dodgers)
- Postseason record: 1-1, 2.87 ERA
- Allowed four runs in six innings during Game 4
- Aims to lead the Dodgers to a back-to-back championship, something not seen since the Yankees in 1998-2000
Max Scherzer (Blue Jays)
- Postseason record: 5-5, 5.19 ERA
- Started the last World Series Game 7 (2019 with the Nationals)
- At 41 years old, he will be the oldest starting pitcher in a decisive World Series game
Context: Glory, History, and Maximum Pressure
The Blue Jays seek their first title since 1993 and complete a cinematic story: going from last place in 2024 to world champions in 2025. The Dodgers aim for a back-to-back championship and solidify a dynasty. They haven’t played a World Series Game 7 since 2017.
Both teams have utilized all their resources: exhausted bullpens, players at their physical and emotional limits, and unexpected heroes like Kiké Hernández or Ernie Clement.
What the Numbers Say
- In 2-3-2 series, the team that forces Game 7 after winning the sixth game has won 62.5% of the time.
- When this victory occurs as the visiting team (like the Dodgers did), the percentage rises to 63.6%.
- This World Series already totals 124 innings pitched and will become one of the longest in modern history.
- It’s been the first Game 7 since 2019 (Nationals vs. Astros).
Likely Lineups
Dodgers: Ohtani (P), Smith, Freeman, Betts, Teóscar Hernández, Muncy, Kiké Hernández, Tommy Edman, Miguel Rojas.
Blue Jays: Springer, Lukes, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bichette, Varsho, Kirk, Barger, Clement, Giménez.
What’s at Stake?
For Toronto, it’s the chance to be crowned in front of their fans and close a rebuilding cycle. For Los Angeles, it’s extending an era of dominance and etching Ohtani into baseball history as one of the modern game’s major figures.
