"The World Series has finally arrived after a week of waiting, and the Dodgers will meet the top seeded Toronto Blue Jays in Canada to begin the Fall Classic. Los Angeles swept the Milwaukee Brewers last Friday resulting in an entire week off, whereas Toronto went seven games against the Seattle Mariners, with their series being decided late Monday night."
"The Dodgers keep things as expected, with their standard lineup against right-handed pitching. This will probably be their starting nine for the majority of this series due to the lack of left-handed starters for Toronto. The Dodgers' offense has been the second best amongst all playoff teams trailing only the Jays...which makes sense as they've both reached the World Series, however the offense hasn't been spectacular as a whole for the majority of this run."
The World Series opens with the Dodgers visiting the top-seeded Toronto Blue Jays. Los Angeles had a full week off after sweeping Milwaukee, while Toronto needed seven games to beat Seattle. Kevin Gausman threw one inning out of the bullpen, which makes rookie Trey Yesavage a likely Game 1 starter. Blake Snell has been unbeaten in the postseason and seeks a fourth win. The Dodgers will use their usual lineup versus right-handers. Los Angeles ranks second in playoff offense, averaging 4.6 runs per game and a .770 team OPS. Shohei Ohtani broke out with three homers and six shutout innings in Game 4. Bo Bichette returns to the lineup after missing time.
