Part 7/9:
The series format—best of seven—means that winning the initial games on the road, especially the first two, set the tone. The Dodgers' goal is to secure at least two wins out of three games in Los Angeles, with the possibility of closing out at home or moving to a decisive game seven.
Conversely, the Blue Jays aim to leverage their home-field advantage to even the odds. Winning even one game at home in a series where they face strong pitching could tip the scales back in their favor, as exemplified in past series where home advantage played a critical role.
