Today’s top games to watch, best bets, odds: Game 4 of the World Series, NBA and more
Written by CBS SPORTS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED on October 29, 2025
The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers worked some serious overtime Monday night, but they will clock back in Tuesday on short rest for Game 4 of the 2025 World Series. First pitch is set for 8 p.m. ET from Dodger Stadium.
Freddie Freeman made history by hitting a walkoff home run in the World Series in back-to-back seasons. The Dodgers slugger led off the bottom of the 18th inning Monday — 6 hours and 49 minutes into the game! — with a drive to deep center field to give Los Angeles a 6-5 victory and 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Freeman also hit a grand slam to provide a walk-off victory in Game 1 of the World Series last year against the New York Yankees.
The 18 innings played tied a World Series record, and the Dodgers were also involved in that other World Series marathon seven years ago against the Boston Red Sox. Max Muncy, who remains clad in Dodger blue, won that contest with a walkoff homer in the 18th inning. No word on whether sportsbooks are taking bets on which Dodger will hit a walkoff 18th-inning home run in World Series 2032.
Now, the Dodgers are just two wins away from securing consecutive World Series titles, and they are -500 favorites in the sportsbook odds to do so. The futures odds on the 2025 World Series dropped to -110 on both sides after Toronto pulled off an 11-4 Game 1 victory.
Shohei Ohtani (2-0, 2.25 ERA), who homered twice Monday and reached base a record nine times, is scheduled to take the mound for the Dodgers, opposed by Shane Bieber (1-0, 4.38) of the Blue Jays.
Los Angeles is a -200 favorite (risk $200 to win $100), while Toronto is priced at +175 in the latest MLB World Series odds for Blue Jays vs. Dodgers in Game 4 of the 2025 World Series. The over/under for total runs scored is 8.
In addition to the World Series Game 4 matchup, we’ll look at top NBA and NHL matchups as well. All times Eastern.
