Lots of factors to win. But hopefully the starting pitchers who are doing well, aren't pulled too early. John Schneider's Achilles heal is he doesn't trust his starters, to quick to go to his bullpen. I'm hopeful he learned from his game 5 mistake, putting Brandon Little in a position that John should have known he wasn't capable of handling. Brandon was up against Cal Raleigh, the best switch hitter and home run leader in the entire MLB. Not sure what was going through Schneider's head that game? We had way better arms in the the bullpen ready to go.

Exactly. I was surprised by the cheering when he went down and booing when he got up, normally the Mariner fans are good, but that was not a show of class.

Not based on anything other than intuition. lol

Something tells me it will be Jays in 6.

The Dodgers are overconfident. They think that sweeping the Brewers and the Reds, steamrolling the Phillies and having Ohtani will win it all for them.

We have bats who can put men on base as well as hit home runs. The Dodgers can hit dingers but you need more than 1 run to win a game. The Jays can put men on base, hit a homer and be up 3 runs within an inning whereas the Dodgers just hit a homer.

It won't be easy but if we can get to Ohtani, and scramble to bullpen we can pull this off.

I like the optimism! I feel like it'll be the Dodgers, but will be closer than people think. If the Jays can get hits and get on base often in the early going, they can get LA to go to the bullpen and that will help their chances often.

The main concern I have is sometimes the Jays have a power outage and can't get hits. We saw that late in the season, and in the first two games against Seattle. If they have a couple of those against the Dodgers it'll probably cost them the series.
 
I've been wrong about the Jays even making the playoffs this (and to be honest 95% of people who watch this team regularly thought along the same lines with this team going into the season). So maybe if I say this, they might just win the World Series.

The Dodgers are literally like the Chicago Bulls of the 90s, and the New York Yankees of the late 90s and early 2000s. This is a team that is completely stacked; their best player is literally serving as their 4th starter, and is a generational talent, their starting pitching is completely insane, and I havent even gotten to their regular position players.

I'm fully expecting the Dodgers to take this one, perhaps with a bit of fight. But let's not mistake it, this Dodgers team is a literal dynasty in the making.

They did lose one of their strongest relievers and Ohtani is one freak accident away from curtailing either pitching or hitting.

Just as the Jays are one freak accident away from curtailing their World Series hopes.

Dont get me wrong, i'd love for the Jays to win it all.

But the Dodgers are completely stacked, take away Ohtani and their odds are still extremely strong. Remember Ohtani was struggling for most of the post season, and they still got as far as they did. His 3 HR, 10K game probably woke him up.
 
The Dodgers spent $13 million to have Kirby Yates for one year, only for him to get injured often and sit out of the postseason. Yates was expected to be the Dodgers' star closer. Yes, the same star closer the Blue Jays signed in 2021 for $5.5 million for one year, only for him to sit out the entire year due to Tommy John surgery.

Meanwhile, the Blue Jays gave Trey Yesavage a $4 million signing bonus and is phenomenal. He's even slated to start Game 1 of the World Series. Ernie Clement is paid under a million dollars and made more hits in the entire postseason thus far than the entire Milwaukee Brewers team during the NLCS and the Brewers had the best record in all of MLB in the regular season, mind you.
