All bets are off in the WS. Jays would be massive underdogs and only question for many would be how many games will it take, 4 or 5.
If thy get there after last nights debacle it will because these players have taken things into their own hands and they just need to go 4-3 in next 7.
Dodgers are undoubtedly on a roll with a 24-6 record since Yamomotos no hitter was broken up and they lost vs the Oirioles. Starters are lighted out but they have to be because the bullpen is weak. Now with having post game LCS presentations the way they do, watching and hearing it presented last night you couldn’t tell if they had won the WS, as it was basically implied and hopefully that cockiness, week long layoff will have them come out flat.
Jays could well get stomped but they will have home field. And when the Dodgers sucked through the year it’s because the starters then struggled as a unit. So get to one of them like Snell and maybe the others also start second guessing things.
I wouldn’t like their chances but I think they are a better set of players (right now) then Seattle, they just have a manager and pitching coach that doesn’t quite know what they’re doing.
Dan Wilson used his closers in middle innings the last two games to try and hold the Jays and it worked at least yesterday. The Jays closer didn’t even warm up, while ahead in a 2-1 pivotal game 5.
