The Blue Jays and the Dodgers play Game 1 of the World Series tonight, and for Canada’s team home-field advantage is as big as the entire country.

John Schneider was unknown when he was promoted from the coaching staff to manager by the Blue Jays in 2022 but he has led Toronto to its first World Series since 1993.

The offensive fireworks have been led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr, who has been outstanding this postseason. He is hitting .442 with 11 hits in 11 playoff games. The All-Star slugger has gone yard four times, driven in nine runs, and scored 11. The only games he has been held without a hit were Games 1 and 2 (both losses) against the Mariners.

Rookie Trey Yesavage will start Friday night’s World Series opener for the Toronto Blue Jays against the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers and Blake Snell, giving the 22-year-old more postseason

The Dodgers' sustained excellence already puts them in the dynasty conversation, but winning back-to-back titles and three in six years would seal it: "To do that, we've got to win it."

The Los Angeles Dodgers are getting ready for the World Series, and they could be without a veteran arm after a new development.
