The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays begin a star-studded World Series on Friday.

The Dodgers are looking to become the first team since the New York Yankees, who won three straight World Series from 1998 to 2000, to repeat as champions, while the Blue Jays last won in 1993.

The Blue Jays’ World Series title in 1993 was the second of back-to-back championships.

The two teams' path to the World Series have been different. The Dodgers have rolled, while the Blue Jays fought tooth and nail to make it to the Fall Classic.

The Dodgers did have to play in the Wild Card Series, as they dismantled the Cincinnati Reds in two games to move on to the NLDS.

In the NLDS, the Dodgers took down the Philadelphia Phillies in four games, aided by Phillies’ reliever Orion Kerkering’s backbreaking error, to advance to the NLCS.

The Dodgers then made quick work of the Milwaukee Brewers, as they swept them. Shohei Ohtani had one of the most incredible postseason performances of all time in Game 4 to close out the series.

The Dodgers' pitching staff, especially their starting pitching, has been sensational, allowing just 28 runs in 10 postseason games. The team’s elite rotation of Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow and Ohtani has carried the load thus far.
