Friday's Major Sports Showdown: World Series Game 6, NBA Highlights, and More

A look at the top games to watch on Friday, featuring crucial matchups in the World Series, NBA, and NHL, alongside expert betting tips.

Just a few days back, a memorable World Series game seemed to signal the Los Angeles Dodgers’ march toward a third championship this decade. Now, they’re on the brink of a significant collapse or the Toronto Blue Jays could complete an impressive comeback, depending on one’s perspective.

As it stands, Toronto holds a 3-2 lead heading into Game 6 of the 2025 World Series, with the match set for 8 p.m. ET at Rogers Centre, expected to be buzzing with fans.

Recently, Dodgers’ star Freddie Freeman clinched a thrilling 6-5 win with a walk-off home run during an 18-inning marathon, causing the Dodgers’ title odds to soar to -500. Conversely, the Blue Jays are now favored at -230 to claim the title, while the Dodgers sit at +190.

In this crucial elimination game, the Dodgers stand as a favorite, largely due to their pitcher, Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3-1, 1.57 ERA in postseason), who previously led them to a dominant Game 2 victory with a complete game of just four hits and one run allowed. He’ll be matched against Kevin Gausman, who has a postseason record of 2-2 and a 2.55 ERA.

Los Angeles is a -140 favorite in the latest odds, while Toronto is at +120 for this World Series matchup. The projected total runs for the game are set at 7.5.

In addition to the World Series, we preview an NBA showdown featuring the Nuggets taking on the Trail Blazers.
