For the first time in 32 years, it’s a World Series game day in the city of Toronto.
The Toronto Blue Jays welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers to Rogers Centre for Game 1 of the 2025 World Series. The Blue Jays will get a big jolt of energy as they try and capture their first title since 1993, with Bo Bichette set to return to action for the first time since injuring his knee in early September.
Bichette is in the lineup, batting fourth and playing second base for the first time in his MLB career. He took some grounders at second base in advance of the World Series and will get the nod at the position against Dodgers star left-hander Blake Snell.
The Blue Jays will hand the ball to talented rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage for his fourth start of the postseason. Yesavage will become the second-youngest pitcher to start Game 1 of the World Series in MLB history, trailing only Ralph Branca for the 1947 Dodgers.
Yesavage kept the Blue Jays alive in his last start, holding the Seattle Mariners to two earned runs on six hits and three walks with seven strikeouts across 5 2/3 innings.
The Blue Jays will need to be at their best offensively against Snell. The talented lefty has been superb in the postseason, holding opponents to a minuscule 0.86 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 21 innings (three starts).
