Los Angeles Trying to Repeat as Champs
Los Angeles managed to generate just enough offense to back stout pitching and timely defense to win Game 6 and force a winner take all Game 7. The Dodgers try to win on the road for the third time in the series to repeat as champs. In Game 6, Friday night, Los Angeles finished with four hits as no player had more than one. Three of the hits came in the third inning, the big one a two-run single that gave the Dodgers a 3-0 lead. Pitching and defense made it stand up. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (4-1) earned the win as he threw six innings, allowing one run on five hits with one walk and six strikeouts, before departing. Tyler Glasnow came in with runners on second and third with no outs and got three outs for his first save.
Shohei Ohtani is expected to get the ball for his fourth start of the postseason after logging 14 regular-season starts on the bump for the Dodgers. In the regular season, he was 1-1 with a 2.87 ERA, a 1.043 WHIP, nine walks and 62 strikeouts over 47 innings of work. During the postseason, Ohtani is 2-1 with a 3.50 ERA, a 0.889 WHIP, five walks and 25 strikeouts over 18 innings of work. Ohtani took the loss in his last start, which came against the Blue Jays in Game 4 of the World Series Tuesday night at home. He threw six innings, allowing four runs on six hits with one walk and six strikeouts in a 6-2 Dodgers defeat. In his last three starts, Ohtani is 2-1 with a 3.50 ERA, a 0.889 WHIP, five walks and 25 strikeouts over 18 innings of work. Ohtani makes his fifth career start against the Blue Jays in this contest. He is 2-2 with a 3.96 ERA, a 0.92 WHIP, six walks, and 31 strikeouts over 25 innings of work against them. Ohtani beat Toronto in his lone career start at Rogers Centre, which came with the Angels on August 27, 2022. He threw seven shutout innings, allowing two hits with one walk and nine strikeouts in a 2-0 Angels win.
Blue Jays Looking to Earn Title
Toronto had a chance to win their first World Series since 1993, but came up empty in clutch situations late in Game 6 on Friday night. The Blue Jays now find themselves in a winner-take-all all situation for the second time in the postseason. They downed the Mariners in a similar spot in the AL Championship Series. In Game 6 Friday night, Toronto finished with eight hits with Addison Barger (run), Ernie Clement, and George Springer (RBI) each picking up a pair. The Blue Jays went one for nine with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base in the game. Toronto had two men on with one out in the eighth inning and runners on second and third with one out in the ninth but came up empty. Andres Gimenez lined into a game-ending double play to force Game 7. Kevin Gausman (2-3) took the loss as he threw six innings, allowing three runs on three hits with two walks and eight strikeouts.
Max Scherzer gets the ball for the third time in the postseason after logging 17 starts in the regular season for the Blue Jays. He was 5-5 with a 5.19 ERA, a 1.294 WHIP, 23 walks and 82 strikeouts over 85 innings of work this season. In the postseason, he is 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP, five walks and eight strikeouts. Scherzer didn’t factor in the decision in his last start, which came against the Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday. He threw 4.1 innings, allowing three runs on five hits with one walk and three strikeouts in an eventual 6-5, 18-inning, Blue Jays defeat. In his last three starts, Scherzer is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA, a 1.53 WHIP, five walks and 13 strikeouts over 15 innings of work. Scherzer makes his 21st career appearance, 19th start, against the Dodgers in this contest. He is 5-6 with a 2.53 ERA, a 1.061 WHIP, 32 walks and 122 strikeouts over 114 innings of work in those outings. Scherzer is 7-2 with a 3.45 ERA, a 1.094 WHIP, 15 walks and 84 strikeouts over 88.2 innings of work in 16 career starts at Rogers Centre.
Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Pick
Moneyline Pick for Dodgers vs. Blue Jays
- Dodgers (4 units)
Before Game 6, we talked about how Toronto was better at playing from behind in the series as opposed to being up, and that held to form Friday. Now, Ohtani gets the likely nod over Glasnow as the starter on the bump because if he starts, he can shift to the DH role after leaving the bump. Should he come on in relief, the Dodgers would lose the DH slot upon his exit. It’s all hands on deck for this one, so don’t be surprised to see Glasnow, Snell, and potentially even Yamamoto if necessary. The Dodgers’ pitching has carried them in the postseason as the bats haven’t been what we saw in the regular season. Experience pays dividends in critical situations, and Los Angeles has it in spades. Toronto is at home, but the late-inning failures in Game 6 will haunt the Blue Jays all offseason as the Dodgers find a way to repeat as champs.
Over/Under Pick for Dodgers vs. Blue Jays
- Under (4 units)
Los Angeles enters this one having seen the under post an 88-80-10 mark in their 178 games on the season. The Dodgers are 3rd in the majors as they average 5.01 runs a game, giving them an average total of 9.17 runs per contest. On the road, Los Angeles averages 4.61 runs per game and has an average total of 8.60 runs per game this season. Toronto has seen the over post a 96-77-6 mark on the year entering Game 7. The Blue Jays are 2nd in the majors with 5.02 runs per game, and that number edges up to 5.34 runs per game at Rogers Centre. Toronto has an average total of 9.44 runs per game, but that number climbs to 9.51 runs per game at home. We’ve seen the under go 3-1-1 in the last five games since the blowout Game 1 victory. With a razor-thin margin for error and everyone on deck here, this game winds up short of the mark.
