The Toronto Blue Jays have a chance to make history Saturday night when they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series.

The game, which can be seen on FOX at 8 p.m. ET, could mark the end of an epic turnaround for Toronto.

The Blue Jays finished last in the American League East division in the 2024 season and failed to qualify for the playoffs with a 74-88 record. This season, Toronto won the division title for the first time since 2015 and could join an exclusive club with a World Series victory.

Toronto could join the 1991 Minnesota Twins and 2013 Boston Red Sox in moving from last place to champions, according to MLB Network. The Twins finished in last place in the AL West in 1990 before Jack Morris’ heroic game seven gave them a World Series victory in 1991 against the Atlanta Braves.

The 2012 Red Sox finished last in the AL East before beating the St. Louis Cardinals in six games to win the 2013 World Series.

The Blue Jays look to celebrate their first World Series since 1993 with a victory against the Dodgers. Max Scherzer, perhaps the final start of his illustrious career, will be set to start Game 7. He will face Shohei Ohtani, who the Dodgers signed for the crucial game.

Toronto lost in Game 6, 3-1, as the Dodgers hit a dramatic double play to end the game in the bottom of the ninth inning despite the threat from the Blue Jays.

Scherzer was 5-5 with a 5.19 ERA in 17 starts this season.

“There’s no better guy on the mound to deal with emotions and all that stuff,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. “Max was preparing for Game 7 when he knew he would be pitching Game 3.”
