Toronto Seeking to Regain Home Field Advantage
Toronto took Game 1 on the strength of a nine-run sixth inning but their bats were shut down in Game 2. The Blue Jays now travel on the road hoping to steal home field advantage back from the Dodgers. In Game 2, Toronto was limited to four hits with no player recording more than one in the contest. Alejandro Kirk drove in the lone run for the Blue Jays with a sacrifice fly in the third inning. The Blue Jays went one of four with runners in scoring position and left four men on base in the contest. Kevin Gausman (2-2) took the loss as he threw 6.2 innings, allowing three runs on four hits with no walks and six strikeouts, before departing.
Max Scherzer gets the ball for the second 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 3.18 ERA, a 1.235 WHIP, four walks and five strikeouts. Scherzer earned the win in his last start, which came against the Mariners in Game 4 of the AL Championship Series October 16. He threw 5.2 innings, allowing two runs on three hits with four walks and five strikeouts in a 8-2 Blue Jays win. In his last three starts, Scherzer is 1-2 with a 10.32 ERA, a 2.21 WHIP, five walks and 12 strikeouts over 11.1 innings of work. Scherzer makes his 20th career appearance, 18th start, against the Dodgers in this contest.

Scherzer is 7-4 with a 2.57 ERA, a 1.041 WHIP, 22 walks and 113 strikeouts over 98 innings of work in 16 career starts at Dodger Stadium.
Dodgers Looking to Ride Momentum From Game 2 Win
After seeing their bullpen struggle in the opening game of the World Series, Los Angeles didn’t have to lean on their relievers at all en route to square the series with a Game 2 win. The Dodgers now try to build momentum as they return home for Games 3, 4 and 5. In Game 2 Saturday, Los Angeles finished with just six hits as Will Smith (run, three RBI) was the lone player with two. Smith (his first of the postseason) and Max Muncy (his second) each went deep in the seventh inning, breaking a 1-1 tie. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3-1) earned the win as he tossed a complete game, allowing one run on four hits with no walks and eight strikeouts. He became the first pitcher to throw back-to-back complete games in the postseason since Curt Schilling threw three straight back in 2001.

In the postseason, he has no record with a 0.68 ERA, a 1.125 WHIP, eight walks and 18 strikeouts over 13.1 innings of work. Glasnow didn’t factor in the decision in his last start, which came against the Brewers at home in Game 3 of the NL Championship Series October 16. He threw 5.2 innings, allowing one run on three hits with three walks and eight strikeouts in a game the Dodgers won 3-1.

Blue Jays vs. Dodgers Pick
Runline Pick for Blue Jays vs. Dodgers
- Dodgers -1.5 (+112) (4 units)
We know how the Dodgers are explosive at home this season and Scherzer has pitched just once since September 24. While he beat the Mariners in his lone postseason appearance, Scherzer did hand out four walks in that outing. The Dodgers have a fully rested bullpen after Yamamoto went the distance in Game 2. Los Angeles still hasn’t had their bats break out fully in the postseason and they are bound to get things clicking sooner or later. Scherzer, at this point of his career, is more about guile than overpowering hitters. Los Angeles has momentum on their side and that helps carry them to a home win here.
