2025 World Series — Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers will host the Toronto Blue Jays for Game Three of the World Series, with the teams having split the first two games in Toronto. You can do this dance with pretty much every game early in a seven-game series, but, yes, Game Three is often a swing game.
