LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers have the Toronto Blue Jays right where they want them in the World Series: at home for three games in three days.
Tied 1-1, the best-of-seven series resumes Monday night, when the Dodgers will be backed by their raucous fans in a bid to become the first team to win consecutive championships since the American League’s New York Yankees won three in a row from 1998 to 2000.
The Dodgers beat the Yankees in New York last year for their eighth World Series title. The only one they won at home was at Dodger Stadium in 1963.
Twenty hours after walking off the field under the closed roof at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, the Blue Jays worked out at Dodger Stadium on Sunday under hazy skies that obscured the San Gabriel Mountains. They had arrived at their hotel at 4 a.m.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts didn’t make it to the stadium until 5 p.m. after flight delays.
