The Blue Jays have this surprising advantage over the Dodgers in their World Series meeting

"Despite being a No. 3 seed, the Dodgers swept most of their prior NL opponents, losing only one game, and have only once allowed opponents more than three runs per game. The Dodgers' starting pitchers have been nearly unhittable in the postseason. The four starters, Blake Snell (0.86 ERA), Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1.83 ERA), Shohei Ohtani (2.25 ERA), and Tyler Glasnow (0.68 ERA), have a 33.5 strikeout percentage in the postseason and are relied on to pitch deeper into games due to the bullpen's recent struggles."

"The Blue Jays' bullpen has also posted a high postseason ERA (5.52), but compared to the Dodgers' relievers, they have pitched more innings and held leads in critical situations. Despite the surface-level ERA, the Blue Jays' ability to handle higher workloads and pressure gives them a key bullpen advantage over the Dodgers, whose relievers have struggled when called upon. The Blue Jays have this surprising advantage over the Dodgers in their World Series meeting"

The Dodgers reached the World Series after sweeping most NL opponents as a No. 3 seed, losing only one game and rarely allowing more than three runs. Their starters — Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow — have posted minuscule postseason ERAs and a 33.5 percent strikeout rate, and are being asked to go deep because the Dodgers' bullpen has struggled. Toronto's bullpen has a higher postseason ERA (5.52) but has logged more innings, preserved leads in critical moments and absorbed heavier workloads. Toronto's hitters and bullpen provide strengths to exploit, but Toronto's relievers carry concerning home run rates against a power-heavy Dodgers lineup.
