First of all, the Dodgers will challenge the record of winning the World Series for the first time in 25 years since the New York Yankees won the title for three consecutive years from 1998 to 2000. In fact, he is trying to become the first defending champion of the 21st century.
Toronto, on the other hand, is trying to win the title for the first time in 32 years. Toronto, which was founded in 1977 and has been at the bottom of the list, won the World Series for two consecutive years from 1992 to 1993, sparking a baseball craze in Canada. Since then, he has been in the ALCS twice (2015, 2016) in 31 years until last year, and has never stood in the World Series. In terms of desperation, I can take Toronto's side.
In addition, the two teams have outstanding superstars representing Major League Baseball, receiving unilateral support from fans. Dodgers is Shohei Ohtani and Toronto is Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Ohtani booked the NL MVP with 55 home runs, 102 RBIs and 146 runs in the regular season, and in Game 4 of the NLCS on the 18th, he played as a leadoff pitcher and hit three home runs as a batter, and became a winning pitcher with 10 strikeouts and no runs in 6 innings. Of course, the NLCS MVP was Ohtani's. He has a batting average of 0.220 (9 hits in 41 at-bats), five homers, nine RBIs, seven runs scored, and an OPS of 0.967 in 10 postseason games.
In particular, Ohtani played in all three games against Toronto in this regular season and dominated with 0.538 (7 hits in 13 at-bats), two homers, two RBIs, five runs, and an OPS of 1.702.

MLB.com said 'Vladimir Guerrero Jr., get a greeting' and 'Guerrero, who is performing the greatest performance in Blue Jays history, was named ALCS MVP. He will lead the Blue Jays to the World Series for the first time since 1993. There is a strong Dodgers waiting, but if Guerrero plays like he does now, anything will be possible,' he said, expressing expectations.

Postseason team batting average (0.296), team OPS (0.878), and scoring (71) are all the top among the 12 teams in fall baseball. He is tied for first with Seattle with 20 home runs. Guerrero and the main hitters such as George Springer, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes, Ernie Clement, Dalton Basho and Andres Jimenez, who hit a come-from-behind home run in Game 7, are all maintaining a hot hitting sense. Bobbi, a .300 hitter recovering from injury??He is also expected to join.
The Dodgers ranks first among eight teams that have advanced to the Division Series or higher with a 2.45 postseason team ERA. Team WHIP (1.02) and team hit rate (0.173) are also ranked first overall. In particular, the Dodgers' starters marked a 1.40 postseason ERA, and they stood out even more with 0.63 in four NLCS games. The four-man rotation of Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and Ohtani will go to the World Series as it is.

According to MLB.com Dodgers reporter Sarah Reims, since the LCS expanded to the best-of-seven series in 1985, the team that has played the LCS up to Game 7 has won all four World Series games in which one team has won four consecutive games and the other team has passed the series with four wins and three losses.
The first case was the 1988 World Series between the Dodgers and the Oakland Athletics. The Dodgers beat the New York Mets 4-3 in the NLCS after a close game through Game 7, and Oakland beat the Boston Red Sox for four straight games in the ALCS. However, in the World Series, the Dodgers reached the top with 4 wins and 1 loss.
In 2006, the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Mets in Game 7 of the NLCS, and the Detroit Tigers advanced to the World Series with an ALCS sweep over Oakland. In the World Series, St. Louis lifted the trophy with four wins and one loss.
In 2007, Boston defeated the Cleveland Indians 4-3 in the ALCS and the Colorado Rockies defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NLCS with four consecutive wins. However, in the World Series, Boston, which had only two days off, won a four-game sweep over Colorado, which had eight days off.
In 2012, the San Francisco Giants, who passed the NLCS with four wins and three losses, beat Detroit, which finished the ALCS with four wins, with four consecutive wins in the World Series.
Toronto has three days off, and the Dodgers, who passed the NLCS on the 18th, have a six-day break. The Dodgers may be advantageous in terms of securing stamina, but Toronto should be considered advantageous in terms of game sense, players' concentration and momentum.
