Toronto Battles to Return Home
The Blue Jays lost an epic Game 3 on Monday night to go down 2-1 against the Dodgers, but they regrouped and beat up on the Dodgers on Tuesday night, thanks to 5.1 strong innings from Bieber, who allowed just one run and four hits to get the win. Vlad Guerrero Jr. hit his seventh home run in the playoffs in the third inning and knocked in his 13th and 14th runs to lead the Jays.
The Blue Jays are expected to hand the ball to rookie Trey Yesavage, who made only three regular-season major league starts, for his fifth postseason outing in this contest. He was 1-0 with a 3.21 ERA, a 1.429 WHIP, seven walks and 16 strikeouts over 14 innings of work in the regular season. In the postseason, he is 2-1 with a 4.26 ERA, a 1.263 WHIP, 10 walks and 27 strikeouts over 19 innings of work. Yesavage didn’t factor in the decision in his last start, which came in Game 1 of the World Series at home against the Dodgers. He threw four innings, allowing two runs on four hits with three walks and five strikeouts in an eventual 11-4 Blue Jays victory. Over his last three starts, Yesavage is 1-1 with a 5.93 ERA, a 1.61 WHIP, eight walks and 16 strikeouts over 13.2 innings of work. Yesavage makes his second career start against the Dodgers in this contest as he has no record with a 4.50 ERA, a 1.75 WHIP, three walks and five strikeouts over four innings of work against them. Yesavage makes his first career start at Dodger Stadium in this contest. In the minors this season, Yesavage was 5-1 with a 3.12 ERA, a 0.969 WHIP, 41 walks and 160 strikeouts over 98 innings in 25 appearances, 22 starts, split between Single-A Dunedin of the Florida State League, Vancouver of the A+ Northwest League, Double-A New Hampshire of the Eastern League and Triple-A Buffalo of the International League.
Dodgers Seeking to Defend Crown
After a grueling night on Monday where Ohtani got on base nine times, he was given the ball on Tuesday night and struggled, allowing six hits and four earned runs in six innings. He needed to throw 93 pitches, considering the Dodgers used nine pitches in relief on Monday night, including future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw for one batter and starter Roki Sasaki for 1.2 innings.
Blake Snell gets the call for the Dodgers as he makes his fifth postseason start after logging 11 regular-season starts. He was 5-4 with a 2.35 ERA, a 1.255 WHIP, 26 walks and 72 strikeouts over 61.1 innings of work in the regular season. In the postseason, Snell is 3-1 with a 2.42 ERA, a 0.846 WHIP, eight walks and 32 strikeouts over 26 innings of work. Snell took the loss in his last start, which came on the road against Toronto in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday. He threw five innings, allowing five runs on eight hits with three walks and four strikeouts in an 11-4 Dodgers defeat. In his last three starts, Snell is 2-1 with a 2.79 ERA, a 0.89 WHIP, seven walks and 23 strikeouts over 19 innings of work. Snell makes his 18th career start against the Blue Jays in this contest. He is 5-5 with a 2.39 ERA, a 1.286 WHIP, 45 walks and 101 strikeouts over 84 innings of work against them. Snell is 7-1 with a 1.65 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, 34 walks and 96 strikeouts over 76.1 innings of work in 15 career starts at Dodger Stadium.

Moneyline Pick for Blue Jays vs. Dodgers
- Blue Jays (4 units)
We saw this pitching matchup in Game 1. While Yesavage threw only four innings, Toronto used a nine-run sixth inning to earn the victory. Snell labored through five frames and was taken out with the bases loaded and no one out in the sixth inning. The Blue Jays have thrived with their backs to the wall, winning their final four regular-season games to earn the AL East title. They then took care of the Yankees in the AL Division Series, responding from a 2-0 series deficit to Seattle by winning Games 3 and 4 on the road, then took Games 6 and 7 after falling in Game 5. Look for Toronto to find a way to scratch out the win and send things back home.
Over/Under Pick for Blue Jays vs. Dodgers
- Over (4 units)
Toronto has seen the over post a 96-75-5 mark in their 176 games on the year entering Tuesday night. The Blue Jays are 3rd in the majors with 5.03 runs per game, and that number falls to 4.67 runs per game away from Rogers Centre. Toronto has an average total of 9.49 runs per game, but that number drops to 9.42 runs per game on the road. Los Angeles entered Sunday night having seen the under post an 86-80-9 mark in their 175 games on the season. The Dodgers are second in the majors, averaging 5.06 runs per game, which gives them an average total of 9.22 runs per contest. At home, Los Angeles averages 5.49 runs per game and has an average total of 9.79 runs per game this season. We saw 15 runs when these two pitchers squared off. The teams don’t reach that threshold but the game winds up over the total.
