- Manager Dave Roberts selected Yoshinobu Yamamoto to start against Arizona's Zac Gallen, while Lakers Hall of Famer Magic Johnson will deliver the ceremonial first pitch.
- Should Los Angeles secure the threepeat, they would become the first team since the New York Yankees to win three consecutive titles, with the 2025 World Series banner ceremony scheduled for Friday.
