Blue Jays vs. Dodgers World Series

The Blue Jays have just taken the World Series lead as of Oct. 29. With the series being as back-and-forth as it is, this is monumental. The Blue Jays blew out the Dodgers in the first game, 11-4. With Game 3 going into the 18th inning, Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run, going 406 feet. Game three went a full 9 extra innings with no runs. The game began at 8 p.m. ET and ended at 3:50 a.m. ET.

In Game 4 of the World Series, against the most expensive roster in baseball and one of the most talented players on the planet, Vladimir Guerrero set the tone with an early home run. Guerrero and Bichette led the Blue Jays to a 6-2 win that evened this series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at two games apiece.

In any best-of-seven series tied 2-2, the Game 5 winner has won the series 46 of 68 times (67.6%). In series with the current 2-3-2 format, teams taking a 3-2 lead by winning Game 5 on the road — before returning home for Games 6 and 7 — have gone on to win the series 20 of 27 times (74.1%).

And with the Toronto Blue Jays threatening to win the whole thing on a walk-off, the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled off a game-ending double play to escape with a 3-1 victory that forced a winner-take-all matchup on Saturday night.

The final baseball game of the year was amazing. It held everything there is to love about Baseball. It had home runs, defensive plays, incredible pitching performances, and, simply because no one wanted the season to be over, the drama leaked into extra innings. With the Dodgers down by 2 in the 8th, Max Muncy hit a clutch home run to put the Dodgers down by one. With the game on the line in the top of the 9th, Miguel Rojas hit a beautiful home run to tie the game. Finally, in the top of the 11th, Will Smith stepped up and hit a home run to take the lead. Addison Barger was walked, and Alejandro Kirk grounded out, with the Dodgers finishing out this series with a double play.
