The Los Angeles Dodgers found out on Monday night who they will play in the 2025 World Series. The Toronto Blue Jays, thanks to George Springer's three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning, defeated the Seattle Mariners 4-3 at Rogers Centre.

Springer, a known Dodgers nemesis when he played with the Houston Astros, leapt for joy as he rounded the bases.

The Blue Jays celebrated on the field after Mariners center fielder Julio Rodríguez struck out for the game's final out. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was caught up in the moment and shared his thoughts in a post-game interview.

Now that Toronto has punched its ticket to the Fall Classic, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts can get to work on lining up his pitching rotation.

As for the World Series itself, two teams with solid offenses will go against each other. The Blue Jays will have a few days to get over the Monday night champagne and beer celebrations.

The World Series starts on Friday night at Rogers Centre with the Blue Jays hosting Games 1 and 2. First pitch on Friday night will be 8 p.m. Eastern and the World Series will be televised by Fox.

As if Dodgers fans needed any reminding, Los Angeles swept its best-of-seven National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Memories of Shohei Ohtani's incredible Game 4 performance at the plate and on the mound still float in Dodgers fans minds.

But the Blue Jays will be a formidable opponent. Guerrero Jr. is one of the most feared sluggers in the American League. Toronto also has a pretty good pitching staff, so it will not be an easy road for the Dodgers to repeat as World Series champions.

Let the predictions and talk-show fodder begin. There's plenty of time for hot takes all across the media landscape. 

Dodgers fans will be doing their homework on the Blue Jays between now and Friday night.
