USA TODAY Sports has live coverage of Dodgers vs. Blue Jays in World Series Game 4.

After a thrilling World Series Game 3 that went a historic 18 innings over a total of six hours and 39 minutes, the Los Angeles Dodgers take a 2-1 series lead over the Toronto Blue Jays. Now, the excitement is palpable as both teams gear up for Game 4, just a few hours away.

In Game 4 of the World Series, Shohei Ohtani will take the mound after his performance in Game 3. The Dodgers' star made history by recording four extra-base hits in his first four at-bats, including two doubles and two home runs. He also received four intentional walks and had one unintentional walk, totaling nine times on base. This remarkable achievement set a new postseason record and tied the MLB record for the most times on base in a single game.

Shane Bieber will be the starting pitcher for Game 4 of the World Series for the Blue Jays. Since his last start was in Game 7 of the ALCS, he has had an extended rest period before this crucial matchup.

Here are the predictions and odds for Game 4 of the 2025 World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays.

Gabe Lacques, USA TODAY: Dodgers 6, Blue Jays 2

Shohei Ohtani won’t have to reach base nine times. This time, six dominant innings against an emaciated Blue Jays lineup will suffice.

The Dodgers are smelling it now. They feel refreshed, even rejuvenated, after their 18-inning victory. They’ve got Shohei on the mound, as well as the plate. The only question is, what does he do next for an encore?

Jesse Yomtov, USA TODAY: Blue Jays 5, Dodgers 2

"Momentum" is an artificial construct and this World Series has already been really weird, so the Blue Jays are going to back to even up this Fall Classic.

Steve Gardner: USA TODAY: Blue Jays 7, Dodgers 6

Garnder writes: "Both teams need and will get strong efforts from their starters, but the taxed bullpens from Monday night's marathon will give the hitters an advantage in the later innings. Chris Bassitt pitches multiple effective innings for the Jays and Daulton Varsho provides the key hit off Blake Treinen to even the series at two games apiece."

Jon Hoefling, USA TODAY: Dodgers 6, Blue Jays 3

Hoefling writes: "It's always the Dodgers. It's always been the Dodgers. It'll always be the Dodgers. The Blue Jays should be happy they got one game and made Game 3 close."
