"This will be Gausman's fifth appearance in the postseason and his fourth start. The right-hander made one relief appearance in the ALCS, throwing a clean inning against the Mariners in Game 7. Through 18 innings, the Jays' star rotation arm owns a 2.00 ERA and has allowed just ten hits and four earned runs compared to 12 strikeouts. He also owns a 1.06 WHIP, and opponents own just a .161 batting average."
"Opposite Gausman will be Yamamoto, who will make his fourth start of the postseason. Yamamoto has not faced the Jays before, and this will be his first start at the Rogers Centre since signing with the Dodgers during the 2023/2024 offseason. Through his three starts, Yamamoto has allowed just four earned runs off 13 hits and four walks while striking out 18. Across 19 2/3 innings, he owns a 1.83 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP."
"The Toronto Blue Jays' magic number is down to three after last night. Toronto's bats rallied to put up 11 runs on Blake Snell and the Dodgers' bullpen staff, securing the victory and taking the early series lead. Kevin Gausman will look to expand that lead before they head to the West Coast, with the Dodgers sending Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the mound in return."
Toronto's magic number is three after an 11-run offensive outburst against Blake Snell and the Dodgers' bullpen secured an early series lead. Kevin Gausman will start to expand the lead before the Jays head west. Gausman has five postseason appearances (four starts), plus one ALCS relief inning; over 18 innings he has a 2.00 ERA, ten hits, four earned runs, 12 strikeouts, a 1.06 WHIP, and opponents bat .161. He has averaged 5 2/3 innings per start and issued nine walks. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start for the Dodgers, with a 1.83 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 18 strikeouts and a complete-game NLCS performance. Bo Bichette is out; Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Addison Barger start at second and right field.
