World Series Game 7 lineups: How Dodgers, Blue Jays are starting

USA TODAY Sports has live coverage of Dodgers vs. Blue Jays in World Series Game 7.

Managers John Schneider and Dave Roberts announced their starting lineups for Game 7 of the 2025 World Series on Nov. 1, a winner-take-all showdown that will determine Major League Baseball’s champion.

Shohei Ohtani is the Dodgers’ starting pitcher in the decisive Game 7 on Saturday in Toronto, while 41-year-old Max Scherzer takes the mound for the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.

The Blue Jays’ lineup has one change from Game 6, with Addison Barger (batting fifth in Game 7) and Dalton Varsho (seventh) swapping places in the batting order. The Dodgers shuffled the lineup slightly from Game 6, with Max Muncy sliding up one spot to hit fifth, and Tommy Edman hitting seventh rather than eighth. Miguel Rojas remains the Dodgers’ starting second baseman for Game 7.
