You’ll always find Drake repping for Toronto. Canada’s very own rap superstar is certainly “World Series-bound” this season, as he shared with his followers a few days ago. And on Wednesday, he found a new way to bring a spark to the World Series buzz. As Drake’s beloved Toronto Blue Jays edge closer to their first championship in nearly 30 years, Drake’s social media post added just the right spark to an already intense showdown.

He’s teasing that his Toronto squad is right on the brink of ending Ohtani and the Dodgers’ run.

He followed it up with another story—a photo of Shohei Ohtani at the plate and Trey Yesavage walking back to the dugout. Drake captioned it, “savage already otw to the dugout boss lol.” In that picture, Trey started heading to the dugout before Ohtani even swung, like he already knew he was about to strike him out.

Drake might just be the Blue Jays’ ultimate hype man. For the first time this postseason, the Dodgers face elimination, heading into Friday’s game in Toronto down 3–2. Their offense has gone ice cold, managing only three runs over the last 18 innings as momentum swings firmly toward the Jays.
As Blake Snell sees it, “Luck plays in baseball, too.” The two-time Cy Young winner gave up two home runs on his first three pitches. He then stumbled again late in the game as the Dodgers fell 6–1. “I’m not one to make excuses or anything close to that, but that’s pretty unlucky,” he added. Yet, the sellout crowd of 52,175 at Dodger Stadium stood to applaud his efforts.
Now, Shohei Ohtani and Co. look forward to their must-win game 6.

The Dodgers-Blue Jays series is headed to Toronto with the boys in blue closer to their WS title
Just as the Dodgers entered their final inning of the season at Dodger Stadium, one lone fan tried to spark a chant: “The Series isn’t over!”
To that, only a few scattered cheers followed. But they quickly faded into the quiet, resigned mood that had already settled over the crowd long before the Dodgers’ 6–1 loss in Game 5 became official.
Heading into Wednesday night with the Series tied at two games each, it was already evident that the Fall Classic would be decided in Toronto. But now, after Game 5, the Blue Jays are only one win away from a championship.
However, manager Dave Roberts wasn’t ready to accept the series defeat just yet. “I think there’s more in there. I know there’s more in there. We’ve won two games in a row, but again, it just comes down to one game. I think that we have been in a lot of elimination games, and we found a way to get to the other side.” He said.
It’s hard for the Dodgers to fight back against the history, though!
In best-of-seven postseason series tied 2-2, the team that wins Game 5 has gone on to take the series 46 out of 68 times. That’s nearly 68%. In fact, under the current 2-3-2 format, teams that grab a 3-2 lead by winning Game 5 on the road have closed it out 20 of 27 times, a firm 74%.
Still, odds are just numbers, and the Dodgers have defied them before. After dropping Game 5, they once again find themselves battling against the weight of World Series history.
