"The Dodgers fell back into their concerning old habits in Game 1 of the World Series. The offense squandered some early chances for big innings, as they left the bases loaded with one out in the second and had three straight baserunners to start the third inning and only managed one run. Blake Snell fell back into the stereotypical Snell outing, struggling with command and getting pulled at 100 pitches after loading the bases with no outs in the sixth inning."
"The bullpen came in and made a mess of it, turning a 2-2 tie in the top of the sixth to an 11-2 deficit in the top of the seventh. The Jays lived up to their reputation, striking out only four times in the game and hitting three homers. Trey Yesavage wasn't exactly sharp, but the Dodgers only mustered two hits off their much-maligned bullpen in five innings (although three of those innings came with the game out of reach)."
"Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets the ball coming off one of the best starts of his Dodger career. Yama took the ball in Game 2 against the Brewers and went the distance, allowing a run and three hits over nine full innings with seven strikeouts and only one walk. 81 of the 111 pitches Yama threw were strikes, and he had a full 10 days of rest after throwing that many pitches."
The Dodgers squandered early offensive opportunities in Game 1, leaving the bases loaded with one out in the second and producing only one run despite multiple baserunners. Blake Snell struggled with command and was removed after 100 pitches following a bases-loaded, no-outs situation in the sixth inning. The bullpen surrendered a 2-2 tie and allowed the Jays to extend the lead to 11-2 by the seventh. Toronto struck out only four times and hit three homers. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start Game 2 after a dominant nine-inning outing against the Brewers, entering with ample rest and a strong recent track record.
