Pivotal game in the World Series tonight. A win for the Blue Jays ensures the series comes back to Toronto. A win for the Dodgers sets them up to potentially sweep at home and close it out or at very least take a 3-2 lead back to Toronto.

Game 1 Blue Jays played their game and won. Game 2 Dodgers played their game and won. Let’s see what Game 3 brings Monday night.
Game 2 game plan should be the same as game one. Get to that Dodgers bullpen. Let’s go Blue Jays!
The Blue Jays starting Yesavage in game 1 is an interesting choice. I don’t think Gausman threw enough Monday to keep him from starting but I think they like him on more rest and I am guessing with the Dodgers coming off a long rest they want to throw something at them they haven’t seen before. I like the move but I don’t like that it sets up Yesavage for game 5 in LA which unless you are up 3-1 is a crucial game.
Dodgers biggest weakness is their bullpen. Blue Jays biggest strength is being a major pain to pitch against, driving up starters pitch counts and getting them out of the games early. The series may very well come down to how many innings the Dodgers bullpen has to throw.
