Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
Blake Snell enters Game 5 looking to bounce back after a rough outing in Game 1, when he allowed several runs in the sixth inning of an 11-4 defeat. Snell has been excellent throughout the postseason outside of that one start and he has the strikeout stuff to silence Toronto’s power bats. His ability to locate early and avoid deep counts will be key.
Rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage will get the ball for the Blue Jays in this massive game. He allowed just two runs over four innings in Game 1, showing poise beyond his years. If he can keep Los Angeles quiet through the early innings, the Blue Jays’ bullpen is relatively fresh after a lighter workload in Game 4 and can give the Jays the edge late.
Key Players
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. remains the heartbeat of the offense for Toronto. His two-run homer in Game 4 gave Toronto a lead and flipped the momentum of the series. Bo Bichette and Daulton Varsho have also provided consistent contact at the top of the order. The bullpen trio of Jordan Romano, Erik Swanson, and Génesis Cabrera has held opponents scoreless over their last seven innings combined.
Los Angeles will rely heavily on Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Betts to spark the offense. The trio has combined for just six hits in the last two games, and the Dodgers’ recent struggles with runners in scoring position have been glaring. They need a breakout performance from that trio to avoid heading to Toronto facing elimination.
