However, the road to victory is not paved only for them.\n\nThe [Toronto Blue Jays](\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/tor\/toronto-blue-jays), American League champions, have two of the top three players heading into the series and almost half of the top 20. Let&#8217;s analyze the stars and predict who will stand out in this exciting contest.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top 20 World Series Players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Shohei Ohtani, SP\/DH, Dodgers<\/li><li>Vladimir Guerrero Jr., 1B, Blue Jays<\/li><li>George Springer, DH, Blue Jays<\/li><li>Yoshinobu Yamamoto, SP, Dodgers<\/li><li>Blake Snell, SP, Dodgers<\/li><li>Mookie Betts, SS, Dodgers<\/li><li>Freddie Freeman, 1B, Dodgers<\/li><li>Alejandro Kirk, C, Blue Jays<\/li><li>Max Muncy, 3B, Dodgers<\/li><li>Tyler Glasnow, SP, Dodgers<\/li><li>Will Smith, C, Dodgers<\/li><li>Ernie Clement, 2B\/3B, Blue Jays<\/li><li>Daulton Varsho, CF, Blue Jays<\/li><li>Kevin Gausman, SP, Blue Jays<\/li><li>Tommy Edman, 2B, Dodgers<\/li><li>Trey Yesavage, SP, Blue Jays<\/li><li>Bo Bichette, SS, Blue Jays<\/li><li>Addison Barger, RF, Blue Jays<\/li><li>Andy Pages, CF, Dodgers<\/li><li>Teoscar Hernandez, RF, Dodgers<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h2>World Series Superlatives<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1021%2Fr1563693_2_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<strong>Faster release speed:<\/strong> Roki Sasaki\n\nSasaki, with a 100.8 mph fastball, surpasses Louis Varland (100.7 mph) and can give maximum effort more than Ohtani (100.3 mph).\n\n<strong>Best breaking pitch:<\/strong> Emmet Sheehan&#8217;s slider.\n\nSheehan&#8217;s slider was the Dodgers&#8217; best pitch this season. Although it doesn&#8217;t have a spectacular spin, he throws it with power and hitters have difficulty connecting with it.\n\n<strong>Best change\/splitter:<\/strong> Yesavage&#8217;s splitter.\n\nYesavage offers a unique combination of movement (his slider moves towards his arm), a very high release point, and a short extension. Added to this is an excellent splitter, which disconcerts the hitters.\n\n<strong>More punches:<\/strong> Snell.\n\nSnell has been on a great run in the postseason and is expected to make two starts.\n\n<strong>Strongest hit:<\/strong> Guerrero.\n\nGuerrero and Ohtani were second and third in maximum exit velocity during the regular season. Guerrero has been hotter at the plate, giving him a slight advantage.\n\n<strong>Sprint Speed:<\/strong> Clement.\n\nClement is expected to reach the bases frequently in the series.\n\n<strong>More hits:<\/strong> Guerrero.\n\nWarrior, with a great contact ability and power, has a good chance to lead the series in hits.\n\n<p><strong>Best defender:<\/strong> Kirk.<\/p>\n\nIf &#8220;framing&#8221; is considered part of the defensive value, Kirk is the answer. He will impact half of the pitches in the series.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The [Los Angeles Dodgers](\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/lad\/los-angeles-dodgers) are the clear favorites to win the 2025 World Series and become the first team to repeat as champions in a quarter of a century.
