Key Storylines
High-Stakes World Series Showdown
The 2025 World Series continues tonight with Game 3 as the series shifts to Los Angeles. The series is currently tied at 1-1 after two competitive games in Toronto. Both teams have shown flashes of brilliance, and with the series hanging in the balance, Game 3 could set the tone for the rest of the championship.
Pitching Matchup: Manoah vs Buehler
Toronto sends right-hander Alek Manoah to the mound, hoping for a rebound performance after a shaky ALCS. Manoah was 10-8 with a 3.68 ERA during the regular season but has struggled with command issues this postseason. On the other side, the Dodgers will counter with Walker Buehler, who returned from injury just before the postseason and has been sharp in limited action. His playoff experience makes him the slight favorite in this key matchup.
Offensive Firepower on Display
Offensively, the Blue Jays have been led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who already has two homers in the series. Bo Bichette and George Springer provide additional power and clutch hitting for a Toronto lineup that can score in bunches. For the Dodgers, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman remain the catalysts. Look out for Max Muncy as a potential difference-maker at home.
Dodgers’ Home-Field Advantage
The Dodgers are an impressive 52-29 at home this season, including 4-1 at Dodger Stadium in the playoffs. That bodes well for a team known for strong starts and large crowd energy. Toronto, meanwhile, is 42-39 on the road but has shown resilience in tough environments throughout October.
Injury Report
Blue Jays:
Out: Danny Jansen (wrist), Erik Swanson (elbow)
Dodgers:
Out: Gavin Lux (knee), Dustin May (elbow)
Questionable: Chris Taylor (neck stiffness)

Player Prop to Watch
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Blue Jays) – Total Bases: 1.5
Vlad Jr. has crushed the Dodgers’ pitching so far and could continue to deliver. The OVER on 1.5 total bases is solid value given his current form.
Mookie Betts (Dodgers) – Runs Scored: 0.5
Betts is a run-scoring machine in the postseason, and with Freeman behind him, he has a great chance to cross the plate again tonight.

Moneyline: Dodgers -135 → Los Angeles has the edge at home with Buehler on the mound.
Total: Over 8.5 → Both offenses are clicking; expect another high-scoring game.
Player Prop: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 1.5 Total Bases → He’s locked in and a threat in every at-bat.
Game 3 is pivotal, and the Dodgers’ home record gives them a slight edge. Expect a competitive and offense-heavy battle in front of a packed crowd at Chavez Ravine.
Final Score Prediction: Dodgers 6, Blue Jays 4
