And then there were two.

The Toronto Blue Jays lost the first two games of the ALCS at home to the Seattle Mariners and blew a chance to take a 3-2 series lead. But the resilient Jays won Game 6 at Rogers Centre to force the second Game 7 in franchise history, and ultimately won the series thanks to George Springer’s three-run, go-ahead home run in the seventh.

Still, the Los Angeles Dodgers are considerable favorites (-220) to win the World Series after sweeping the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS. However, Toronto has the home-field advantage when the Fall Classic starts on Friday, October 24.

2025 World Series AI prediction

We turned to ChatGPT to find out who it thinks will be the last team standing this fall.

Let’s not overthink this. The Los Angeles Dodgers aren’t just contenders in 2025 — they’re a blue-chip powerhouse with a bulletproof case to go all the way. If you’re betting futures and not considering L.A., you’re either chasing longshots or ignoring cold, hard baseball logic.

With a stacked lineup featuring Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman, this team doesn’t just score — it overwhelms. They’re leading MLB in run differential, mashing top-tier pitching, and turning every game into a mismatch by the fifth inning. And that’s before you even factor in their elite rotation: Tyler Glasnow’s strikeout stuff, Yamamoto’s poise, Kershaw’s experience, and a bullpen that quietly shuts down late-inning drama.

This is a smart, disciplined franchise that knows how to manage a championship run. With postseason experience, front-office savvy, and October motivation after recent playoff stumbles, the Dodgers are the rare team with both the talent and the temperament to finish the job. You’re getting elite metrics, consistent value on the futures board, and a team that treats the regular season like a 162-game tune-up.
