Dodgers Dominant, Mariners Rising: Who’s Leading the 2025 World Series Chase?

📖 Bible Verse of the Day:

"From the ends of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I."

—Psalm 61:2 (KJV)

---

As the dog days of the MLB season unfold, the Los Angeles Dodgers maintain their spot as the World Series favorites, buoyed by recent midseason acquisitions like Alex Call and Brock Stewart. With deep reserves and formidable betting odds, L.A. continues to project championship caliber. 

But this year's championship narrative stretches well beyond L.A. The New York Yankees and Mets remain in the conversation—each securing bullpen upgrades and fighting for top wild card positioning. Meanwhile, the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies are making noise, their odds improving as both clubs sit among the standout contenders in the American League and National League, respectively. 

Elsewhere, the Seattle Mariners are quietly surging with a lineup that consistently delivers. New additions Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor have boosted Seattle's already impressive team batting metrics, placing them squarely in the hunt alongside elite contenders. Not to be overlooked, the Miami Marlins have emerged as dark-horse contenders following a spectacular 30–14 run since mid-June, including a sweep of the Yankees that turned heads. 

On the individual front, stars are shining across the league. Aaron Judge continues to lead the American League in batting average and OPS, reinforcing his MVP campaign. On the National League side, Kyle Schwarber, Shohei Ohtani, and Will Smith pace the stat leaders in home runs and OPS. 

With teams jockeying for position and postseason odds constantly shifting, the stretch run promises drama. If any storyline stands out, it's that depth, timing, and roster firepower are shaping this year's World Series chase in unprecedented ways.

Fun fact: Why are they called the pacers

"

The "Pacers" name for the Indianapolis (or rather, Indiana) Pacers basketball team is a combination of two significant aspects of Indiana's racing heritage:

 * Harness Racing Pacers: Indiana has a long history of harness racing, which involves horses called "pacers." These horses have a specific gait where they move their legs in lateral pairs (both right legs, then both left legs).

 * Indianapolis 500 Pace Car: The state is also famous for the Indianapolis 500 automobile race, and the "pace car" that leads the field at the beginning of the race is a prominent symbol.

So, the name "Pacers" was chosen to honor both the state's connection to horse racing and the iconic Indianapolis 500."

Note: hello sports fans and followers of my blogs. I want to inform you that I'm starting to occasionally use AI to help compile daily news updates. Occasionally,  but not  often anymore, AI will get things wrong. 

And I will not be fact-checking every single thing they provide for me so I just want to let you know that the stories I post using AI, as opposed to specific journalistic links as I've done for many years now, are likely 99% true, but if you do find an error, it's because of AI,  not because I am intentionally posting anything misleading or false .
