World Series Game 7 showdown: Why the numbers favor Dodgers over Blue Jays

This Saturday, the 2025 World Series will reach its climax as the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers battle in a decisive Game 7 for MLB’s top prize.

The series has delivered nonstop drama, including late comebacks and intense showdowns. Both teams have given everything in pursuit of the championship, culminating in a Game 6 where neither side held anything back.

Rogers Centre in Toronto will host the final chapter of the series, following the Dodgers’ Game 6 victory fueled by standout performances from Yamamoto.

Statistics give Dodgers the edge

While Game 7 is anyone’s to win, the numbers slightly favor Los Angeles. Historically, 62.5 percent of teams that win Game 6 and force a seventh game go on to win the World Series. That translates to 35 wins out of 56 instances, a trend the Dodgers hope to continue.

Another stat tilts the odds further toward Los Angeles. Teams that force a Game 7 by winning Game 6 away from home have claimed the championship in 14 of 22 cases. This gives Dodgers fans plenty of reason to be optimistic heading into Saturday’s showdown.

Dodgers aim to match Yankees

Following last season’s triumph over the Yankees in New York, the Dodgers now have a chance to win on the road again at Rogers Centre. A victory would make them the first team since the Yankees in 2000 to win back-to-back World Series titles.

The Yankees remain the last team to repeat as champions, having accomplished it three times.
