Scherzer Seeks Third World Series Title in Epic Game 7 Showdown

On November 2, 2025, the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers will face off in a decisive Game 7 of the World Series. The Dodgers, who are seeking to become the first repeat Fall Classic winners since 2000, staved off elimination on Friday night and evened the series with a Game 6 victory.

The Blue Jays will now have one more shot at home to win their first title since 1993. Manager John Schneider has confirmed that veteran right-hander Max Scherzer will get the ball to open up the night. Scherzer, who is no stranger to high-pressure situations, will be making his record-breaking ninth appearance in a winner-take-all game.

While Scherzer's regular season performance was not up to his usual standards, he has a reputation for rising to the occasion in the postseason. The Dodgers, on the other hand, have not yet officially committed to a starting pitcher, though there is ample reason to believe Shohei Ohtani will at least start the contest.
