Blue Jays vs. Dodgers Matchup Breakdown
- Starting Pitching Matchup: Los Angeles will have the edge as they throw veteran lefty Blake Snell (3-1, 2.42 ERA, 0.85 WHIP in playoffs) against Toronto rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage (2-1, 4.26 ERA, 1.26 WHIP in playoffs) on Wednesday.
- Who’s Hot at the Plate: Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2 for 4 with a homer, 2 RBIs, and 2 runs scored on Tuesday. Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman went 1 for 3 with a single and an RBI on Tuesday night.
- Bullpen Report: Toronto righty Chris Bassitt completed 2 scoreless innings and threw 20 pitches in Game 4 on Tuesday night. Dodgers lefty Jack Dreyer tossed 2 scoreless frames while throwing 29 pitches on Tuesday. Both pitchers also pitched Monday, so they may not be available on Wednesday.
- Injury/Status: Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer missed Tuesday’s game against the Dodgers due to “right side discomfort.” Bo Bichette started at DH in his place in Game 4 on Tuesday. Springer is considered “hour-to-hour” by Toronto manager John Schneider and the 4-time All-Star is still on the team’s playoff roster, so there’s an outside chance he could play again in this series at some point.
