Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday challenged President Trump to make a friendly wager on the outcome of the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers.
But Mr. Carney said Mr. Trump hasn’t returned his call yet on the potential bet.
“I think he’s afraid, I think he’s afraid to make a bet,” Mr. Carney joked to The Associated Press while taking in batting practice at Toronto’s Rogers Centre a day before Game 1 of the World Series in Toronto.
“He doesn’t like to lose. He hasn’t called. He hasn’t returned my call yet on the bet, so I’m ready. We’re ready to make a bet with the U.S.”
Mr. Carney predicts the Blue Jays will win the best-of-seven series in six games.
“This country is so pumped. I think the world is so pumped for this series,” Mr. Carney said, noting the interest in Japan because of Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani.
Canada’s only major league team will have the country behind it during the World Series.

Art Carney, I thought he was dead?
Are the Dodgers still celebrating the tranny nuns? I have to pull for the Blue Jays this year
@MarkJCarney
Really?
Your country’s going down the toilette and you want to bet on a baseball game?
No wonder Trump ended tariff talks with you - it’s hard to debate with stupid.
I will refrain from watching this year, as I did the last.
Blue Jays bench coach who was a former Yankee. Probably the greatest Yankee to never have won a World Series.
Agreed. Hopefully this is the year for DM.
Blue Jays certainly thrashing the Dodgers tonight 11-2.
