Alex Rodriguez starts a huge World Series narrative for Dodgers-Blue Jays

in 2025 World Series it’s about to get very exciting, as the reigning World Series champion The Los Angeles Dodgers will face the first-class Toronto Blue Jays. There’s plenty of talent in both locker rooms in what’s shaping up to be a very close match that will be decided by the thinnest of margins.

Of course, one would think the Dodgers are favored in this matchup given how dominant they were against the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS. But in the MLB postseason, momentum rarely carries over from one series to the next. Meanwhile, the The Blue Jays are battle-tested in the postseasonwinning both games after being down 3-2 to send the Seattle Mariners home in tears.

There are many narratives that will define the Dodgers-Blue Jays battle. A New York Yankees legend Alec Rodriguez focused on a single narrative especially since he highlighted the best players both teams have to offer.

“It should be a dream World Series. Look, you have the best team on the planet in the Dodgers. (The Dodgers) have the best athlete in the world in Shohei Ohtaniand the Blue Jays have the best hitter in the game Vladimir Guerrero Jr..,” Rodriguez said on the FOX Sports booth after the Blue Jays’ 4-3 Game 7 triumph over the Mariners in the ALCS.

“This is going to be a much better series than people are giving it credit for.”

At this point, no one should ever doubt how elite ohtani is. He had three home runs in the Dodgers’ Game 4 NLDS triumph, all while striking out 10 in six innings of work on the mound. That might be the best single-game performance in postseason history.

meanwhile, Guerrero has been in the game all postseason; his OPS for the 2025 playoffs is at 1.440, which is simply absurd. This is a clash of two of the biggest in the game right now, and the outcome of the series will depend a lot on whose star shines brighter.

The Blue Jays-Dodgers World Series is also the Shohei Ohtani Bowl

Perhaps one of the biggest narratives entering the 2025 World Series is that these are the last two teams to compete for Ohtani’s services when he becomes a free agent in 2023.

Ohtani made the right decision when he signed with the Dodgers, having already won a World Series title. But now, the Blue Jays will be out for blood as they prepare to show Ohtani that they can win without him.
