Honestly? I think the Dodgers will take it, because they have more talent on their bench than the entire Jays’ starting lineup. But it will be ugly. The score will be something like 8-6, with three errors, a bench-clearing staredown that ends with a Canadian saying “sorry” first, and a ninth-inning rally that gets cut short because a fog rolls in off Lake Ontario and the ump calls the game. Baseball is a beautiful mess, and today’s game is a masterpiece of chaos.
So grab your poutine, put on your Blue Jays hat (or your Dodgers cap, you traitor), and enjoy the show. Just don’t bet your mortgage on the seventh-inning stretch, because that seagull might be lurking. And remember: when the Dodgers win, they’ll smile and wave. When the Blue Jays win, they’ll have a parade of apology letters. Either way, it’s gonna be fun.
