Extra Innings Rules for the 2025 World Series
The current MLB postseason has specific rules for handling extra innings. These rules differ significantly from the regular-season format introduced in 2023. Here’s a summary:
- In regular-season extra innings, teams start each inning with a runner on second base from the 10th inning onward.
- In postseason games, including the World Series, each extra inning will begin with the bases empty.
This change means that if the Dodgers and Blue Jays end up tied after nine innings, they will play traditional extra innings with no immediate advantages for either team.
As the series unfolds, baseball fans will watch closely to see if the clash of these two talented teams results in extra innings drama. Expect both strategic plays and powerful performances as the Dodgers and the Blue Jays vie for the championship.
