The Shohei Ohtani-powered Los Angeles Dodgers will attempt to become the first team in 25 years to win back-to-back World Series titles when they face a Toronto Blue Jays team determined to end a decades-long title drought.

Twelve months after outgunning the New York Yankees in a blockbuster Fall Classic, the Dodgers are on the cusp of a second straight championship.

The Blue Jays head into Game 1 on Friday at Toronto’s Rogers Center with homefield advantage in the best-of-seven series due to their superior regular-season record.
