Blue Jays, Dodgers prepare for World Series showdown at Rogers Centre

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers meet the media today ahead of Game 1 of the World Series at Rogers Centre on Friday night.

Both clubs will work out and face the cameras before the championship begins.

The matchup features two contrasting approaches — the big-spending Dodgers against a Blue Jays roster built on balance and development.

Toronto’s contact bats and steady defence will be tested by Los Angeles’s power hitters and deep rotation, led by left-hander Blake Snell in Game 1.

The Blue Jays have yet to name Friday’s starter.
