Game Overview
Game 5 of this back-and-forth World Series pits Toronto’s Trey Yesavage (3.82 ERA last 3 starts) against L.A.'s Blake Snell (2.37 ERA), a rematch of Game 2—one the Blue Jays dominated 11-4. With the series tied at two games apiece, both teams are throwing arms that have seen each other just days ago.
Toronto is 13-6 SU and ATS in its last 19 games and has covered 8 of its last 10 at Dodger Stadium. Offensively, the Jays are averaging 5.03 runs per game (3rd in MLB) and have consistently produced on the road lately, scoring 6+ in three of their last five.
Los Angeles, meanwhile, has won 16 of its last 19 games straight up, but is just 2-8 ATS in its last 10 home matchups with the Jays. The Dodgers' bullpen has logged 16.1 innings over the past three games, slightly fresher than Toronto's (18.2 IP). Blake Snell was hit hard by this Toronto lineup in Game 2, surrendering 5 earned in 5 innings.
Key Matchups and Analysis
Pitching Edge: Toronto? Yesavage has been quietly effective, holding opponents to under 2 ER in 3 of his last 5 starts. He held L.A. to 2 ER on Oct 24. Snell's ERA looks sharp, but he’s had issues with this Blue Jays offense, including 3 walks and 5 hits in that same outing.
Offense vs. Defense: Both teams are nearly identical offensively—TOR (5.03 RPG), LAD (5.06 RPG). But Toronto has the edge in recent power numbers and walk rates. Defensively, the Dodgers allow fewer runs per game (4.16 vs. 4.46), but Toronto's bullpen has been more versatile and durable over this postseason run.
Situational Angles: The Dodgers have been dominant overall, but Toronto matches up well against their lefties (26-17 vs. LHP), and the Jays have been a solid road team ATS (5-1 last 6). The public may lean L.A. off name value and Snell's ERA, but sharp bettors have noted Toronto's deeper lineup and performance against top-tier pitching.
