World Series Game Three Recap

Toronto Blue Jays (94-68) @ Los Angeles Dodgers (93-69)

As we head to LA for game three, this series is tied at a game apiece. The Blue Jays jumped all over the Dodgers bullpen in game one, exploding for a nine run sixth inning. The bullpen has been the question mark for Dave Roberts and the Dodgers for much of the year, but he didn’t have to worry about that in game two as Yoshinobu Yamamoto went the distance in yet another stellar performance. For both managers, game three will be quite the test, as we’re in for a marathon. Tyler Glasnow will get the ball for LA, and while he’s been excellent in his two previous starts, he has yet to get past the sixth inning, which means the maligned Dodger pen will have to step up tonight. Mad Max Scherzer will toe the slab, making history as the first pitcher to appear with four different teams in the World Series. It hasn’t been a banner year for the future Hall-of-Famer, but Max has plenty of guile, grit, and moxie. Speaking of history, this game will full of it, with record setting production from the best player on the planet and a fantastic finish from a postseason legend.
