Overview
- Game 7 starts at 8 p.m. ET on FOX at Rogers Centre after Los Angeles evened the series 3-3 with a 3-1 victory in Game 6.
- The Blue Jays will start Max Scherzer, while multiple outlets report the Dodgers plan to start Shohei Ohtani on three days’ rest to preserve his bat under MLB rule 5.11(b).
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said every pitcher except Yoshinobu Yamamoto is available for the decider, with Tyler Glasnow fresh after a three-pitch save in Game 6.
- Game 6’s finish featured a ball wedged in the outfield padding ruled a ground-rule double, followed by Enrique Hernández catching Andrés Giménez’s liner and Miguel Rojas doubling off Addison Barger to end it.
- The outcome will either give Los Angeles the first back-to-back titles since the 1998–2000 Yankees or deliver Toronto’s first championship since 1993, with rookie Trey Yesavage a potential Blue Jays x-factor out of the bullpen.
