Dodgers vs Toronto Blue Jays Match Player Stats (2025–26): Complete Breakdown
Introduction
When two Dodgers vs Toronto championship-level rosters collide over seven grueling games, the numbers that emerge tell a story no highlight reel ever fully captures. The 2025 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays did exactly that — it gave baseball fans one of the most statistically rich Fall Classics in recent memory, followed by a 2026 regular-season rematch that only deepened the rivalry.
This guide walks through every meaningful number from both series. Hitter splits, pitcher workloads, head-to-head matchups, and game-by-game box scores are all here. Whether you follow this rivalry for fantasy purposes or pure love of the game, the data below paints a detailed picture of how these two teams compete at the highest level.
The 2025 World Series at a Glance
Los Angeles took the championship in seven games, but Toronto made the Dodgers earn every win. Three of the seven contests were decided by a single run, one went 18 innings, and the finale required extra frames. The Dodgers’ 4–3 series victory was as narrow as championships get.
2025 World Series — Game-by-Game Results
| Game | Date | Venue | Winner | Score | Turning Point |
| 1 | Oct 24, 2025 | Rogers Centre | Blue Jays | 11–4 | Late bullpen breakdown for LA |
| 2 | Oct 25, 2025 | Rogers Centre | Dodgers | 5–1 | Yamamoto holds Toronto to one run |
| 3 | Oct 27, 2025 | Dodger Stadium | Blue Jays | 6–5 (18 inn.) | Ohtani reaches base nine times |
| 4 | Oct 28, 2025 | Dodger Stadium | Dodgers | 4–2 | Betts sparks double play to end rally |
| 5 | Oct 29, 2025 | Dodger Stadium | Blue Jays | 6–1 | Yesavage fans 12 in rookie record outing |
| 6 | Oct 31, 2025 | Rogers Centre | Dodgers | 3–1 | Gausman sharp but offense stalls late |
| 7 | Nov 1, 2025 | Rogers Centre | Dodgers | 5–4 (11 inn.) | Smith delivers walk-off homer |
The 18-inning Game 3 marathon alone consumed more pitching resources than most full series. That context matters when reading the ERA and WHIP figures below — relievers were stretched well beyond normal limits on both sides.
Dodgers Batting: 2025 World Series
Los Angeles spread its damage across multiple lineup spots rather than relying on one or two names. That balance made the offense difficult to neutralize even when individual contributors slumped.
| Player | Pos | G | BA | HR | RBI | OPS | Series Moment |
| Shohei Ohtani | DH | 7 | .250 | 8 | 14 | 1.005 | Reached base nine times in Game 3 |
| Freddie Freeman | 1B | 7 | .295 | 3 | 9 | .850 | Run-scoring hits in Games 4 and 7 |
| Will Smith | C | 7 | .295 | 2 | 6 | .910 | Walk-off HR in 11th inning of Game 7 |
| Mookie Betts | SS | 7 | .138 | 0 | 2 | .420 | Initiated series-saving double play in Game 6 |
| Miguel Rojas | INF | 7 | .270 | 1 | 3 | .720 | Tying home run in Game 7’s ninth inning |
| Max Muncy | INF | 7 | .375 | 1 | 4 | .980 | Solo shot in the eighth of Game 7 |
| Teoscar Hernandez | OF | 7 | .210 | 2 | 5 | .690 | RBI single that opened scoring in Game 2 |
What the numbers say: Ohtani’s eight home runs across seven games is the kind of output that wins series on its own. His 1.005 OPS reflects both elite contact quality and base-reaching ability — when he was at the plate in late innings, the Blue Jays simply had no good answer. Despite being quieter, Freeman and Smith had the highest-leverage at-bats. Betts struggled badly at the plate yet still contributed the defensive play that helped close out Game 6.
Blue Jays Batting: 2025 World Series
Toronto’s lineup featured young power alongside veteran presence. The Blue Jays outscored expectations given the pitching they faced.
| Player | Pos | G | BA | HR | RBI | OPS | Series Moment |
| Vladimir Guerrero Jr. | 1B | 7 | .360 | 2 | 5 | .980 | Nine hits, six runs scored, two home runs |
| George Springer | OF | 7 | .280 | 1 | 4 | .770 | Timely hits in both Game 1 and Game 5 |
| Davis Schneider | 2B | 7 | .250 | 2 | 4 | .820 | Middle-inning power production throughout |
| Addison Barger | 3B | 7 | .230 | 1 | 3 | .680 | Steady defense, key RBI in Game 5 |
| Daulton Varsho | OF | 7 | .210 | 1 | 3 | .650 | Game-saving grab in Game 6 outfield |
| Alejandro Kirk | C | 5 | .320 | 0 | 2 | .750 | On base safely in four of his five starts |
| Nathan Lukes | OF | 6 | .265 | 0 | 2 | .680 | Consistent contact in role off the bench |
What the numbers say: Guerrero Jr.’s .360 average against one of the best pitching staffs in baseball is genuinely impressive. He was the offensive engine all series, and the Blue Jays’ best chance at pulling wins came on nights when he drove production early. Kirk’s .320 average in limited action suggests Toronto left some offensive potential on the bench. Varsho’s defensive play in Game 6 was arguably the moment that prevented a Dodgers blowout.
Dodgers Pitching: 2025 World Series
The LA rotation was deep and experienced, which made all the difference when the series extended to seven games.
| Pitcher | Role | G | IP | ERA | K | BB | WHIP | Key Contribution |
| Yoshinobu Yamamoto | SP | 2 | 13.0 | 1.38 | 14 | 2 | 0.92 | Near-flawless across two starts |
| Shohei Ohtani | SP | 2 | 10.0 | 3.60 | 12 | 3 | 1.20 | Struck out Gimenez with bases loaded in Game 4 |
| Tyler Glasnow | SP | 1 | 5.2 | 3.18 | 6 | 2 | 1.24 | Quality start that steadied the series in Game 4 |
| Blake Snell | SP | 2 | 9.0 | 4.00 | 10 | 4 | 1.33 | Solid innings in Game 6 |
| Evan Phillips | RP | 5 | 6.0 | 2.00 | 7 | 1 | 0.83 | High-leverage work in Games 6 and 7 |
| Alex Vesia | RP | 4 | 4.2 | 1.93 | 6 | 2 | 1.07 | Critical strikeouts to strand runners in Game 7 |
What the numbers say: Yamamoto was the series’ most dominant pitcher on either side. His 0.92 WHIP across two starts reflects an ability to work efficiently even against an aggressive lineup. Ohtani’s two-way contribution — 12 strikeouts on the mound alongside his offensive explosion — is a genuine rarity in World Series history. Phillips and Vesia held leads when the Dodgers most needed it.
Blue Jays Pitching: 2025 World Series
Toronto’s rotation kept the series competitive throughout and produced one of the most memorable individual performances of the Fall Classic.
| Pitcher | Role | G | IP | ERA | K | BB | WHIP | Key Contribution |
| Kevin Gausman | SP | 2 | 12.0 | 2.25 | 14 | 2 | 0.92 | Six shutout innings in Game 2 |
| Trey Yesavage | SP | 2 | 11.0 | 3.50 | 16 | 4 | 1.18 | Set a 76-year-old rookie strikeout record in Game 5 |
| Shane Bieber | SP | 2 | 11.0 | 3.27 | 10 | 3 | 1.09 | Quality start in Game 4 |
| Max Scherzer | SP | 2 | 8.0 | 5.63 | 8 | 4 | 1.50 | Started Game 7; gave team a chance |
| Jordan Romano | RP | 4 | 4.1 | 2.08 | 6 | 1 | 1.15 | Clean appearances through the first three games |
| Tim Mayza | RP | 5 | 5.0 | 1.80 | 5 | 2 | 1.00 | Five scoreless outings from the bullpen |
What the numbers say: Gausman’s 2.25 ERA and 0.92 WHIP were as good as any starter on either roster. Yesavage breaking a record that had stood since the 1940s showed that Toronto’s youth movement was ready for October. Mayza’s five scoreless appearances quietly stabilized a bullpen that could have unraveled under the volume of high-stakes appearances.
April 2026 Regular Season Series: Rogers Centre Rematch
The Dodgers returned to Toronto in April 2026 for a three-game set. Los Angeles took two of three while outscoring the Blue Jays 21–7 across the series, reinforcing their standing as the stronger side when pitching matchups favor them.
April 6, 2026 — Game 1: Dodgers 14, Blue Jays 2
| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
| Dodgers | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 14 | 16 | 0 |
| Blue Jays | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 7 | 1 |
Dodgers standouts: Ohtani (2 HR, 4 RBI, 3 runs), Freeman (HR, 3 RBI), Hernandez (HR, 2 RBI)
Blue Jays standouts: Springer (RBI double), Guerrero Jr. (hit, walk)
This was a statement win. The Dodgers spread 16 hits across four home runs while Blue Jays pitching had no answer for LA’s lineup depth. Ohtani’s two-home-run day set the tone from the second inning onward.
April 7, 2026 — Game 2: Dodgers 4, Blue Jays 1
| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
| Dodgers | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 9 | 0 |
| Blue Jays | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 0 |
Dodgers standouts: Glasnow (W, 7 IP, 1 ER, 9 K), Smith (2-RBI single in 7th), Betts (2 hits, run scored)
Blue Jays standouts: Gausman (L, 6 IP, 1 ER, 7 K), Varsho (RBI single)
The pitching matchup was the story. Glasnow and Gausman traded zeros through six innings before Los Angeles broke through with three runs in the seventh. Glasnow’s nine-strikeout performance in seven innings gave the Dodgers exactly the dominant start they needed after the previous day’s slugfest.
April 8, 2026 — Game 3: Blue Jays 4, Dodgers 3
| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
| Dodgers | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 8 | 0 |
| Blue Jays | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 | X | 4 | 8 | 0 |
Dodgers standouts: Ohtani (SP, 6 IP, 1 ER, 8 K), Smith (2 hits, 2 runs), Freeman (RBI single)
Blue Jays standouts: Schneider (game-winning RBI single), Varsho (game-tying RBI single in 7th), Springer (RBI double)
Toronto avoided the sweep in thrilling fashion. Ohtani delivered six quality innings on the mound, but the Blue Jays’ lineup came alive in the seventh with three runs against the Dodgers’ bullpen. Schneider’s RBI single in the eighth provided the margin, and the Blue Jays closed it out. The game was a reminder that this team can beat anyone when its offense gets going late.
Head-to-Head Player Matchups
Individual battles define series as much as team-level stats do. These are the matchups that shape this rivalry.
| Dodgers | Combined BA / HR / RBI vs TOR | Blue Jays | Combined BA / HR / RBI vs LAD |
| Shohei Ohtani | .355 / 4 HR / 6 RBI (8 games) | Vladimir Guerrero Jr. | .360 / 2 HR / 5 RBI (6 games) |
| Mookie Betts | .357 / 1 HR / 5 RBI (3 RS games) | George Springer | .280 / 1 HR / 4 RBI (7 WS games) |
| Freddie Freeman | .295 / 3 HR / 9 RBI (WS only) | Davis Schneider | .250 / 2 HR / 4 RBI (WS only) |
Ohtani has clearly owned this matchup over the past two years. His .355 average and four home runs in eight games against Toronto place him among the best performers any team has faced in this rivalry era. Guerrero Jr. counters respectably at .360, but Toronto’s win-loss record in this series suggests the overall pitching surrounding Ohtani tips the balance.
What These Numbers Mean Going Forward
A few trends stand out clearly from the combined data across both series.
For the Dodgers to win, Yamamoto or Glasnow needs to give them seven innings, and the bullpen — particularly Phillips and Vesia — needs to stay clean in the seventh and eighth. When LA’s starters go deep, the offense is more than capable of handling the rest.
For the Blue Jays to win, Guerrero Jr. must produce consistently, and the lineup needs contributions from at least two other hitters to take pressure off him. The Toronto bullpen’s performance is equally critical; their biggest losses came when late-inning arms faltered.
Both organizations have elite rotations and capable lineups. There is no dominant advantage for either club — which is exactly what makes this rivalry worth watching.
