LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The Los Angeles Dodgers now know who they will face in the World Series.

The Dodgers are set to play the Blue Jays in the Fall Classic after Toronto beat the Seattle Mariners in Game 7 of the ALCS.

The Blue Jays will have home-field advantage, with Game 1 to be played in Toronto Friday.

Here’s the rest of the World Series schedule. All games start at 5 p.m.

Game 1: Friday, Oct. 24 in Toronto
Game 2: Saturday, Oct. 25 in Toronto
Game 3: Monday, Oct. 27 in Los Angeles
Game 4: Tuesday, Oct. 28 in Los Angeles
Game 5: Wednesday, Oct. 29 in Los Angeles (if necessary)
Game 6: Friday, Oct. 31 in Toronto (if necessary)
Game 7: Saturday, Nov. 1 in Toronto (if necessary)

When the two teams played in the regular season, the Dodgers took two out of three from the Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium.

The Blue Jays are back in baseball’s championship round for the first time since 1993 and will host Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers in Friday night’s opener as Los Angeles tries to become the first repeat winner in a quarter century.

Toronto hosts the opener because it finished the regular season with 94 wins, one more than the Dodgers.

Los Angeles is the first defending champion to reach the Series since the 2009 Philadelphia Phillies, who lost to the New York Yankees in six games. No team has won consecutive titles since the Yankees took three in a row from 1998-2000.
