"The Dodgers had their backs against the wall last night, down 3-2 in the series in a must-win, force the next game situation. The Blue Jays had their drinks on ice in case it went their way. Therefore, the Dodgers played an all-hands-on-deck strategy to stay alive, using three pitchers after Yoshinobu Yamamoto, including starter Tyler Glasnow. The Blue Jays will also need to strategize their pitching layout for today's game seven, as it's the final game of the postseason, a do-or-die, winner-takes-all matchup."
"So far in two starts, he's gone 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA in 10 innings of work, allowing eight hits, five earned runs, walking five, and striking out eight. He's gone deeper into games than expected, and his overall effectiveness comes from his off-speed usage and pitch command, keeping the Dodgers off-balanced. Scherzer can succeed by continuing to stick to the sequencing plan and having a clean first inning."
The World Series reaches a winner-take-all Game 7 with Max Scherzer starting for the Dodgers. The Dodgers used an all-hands-on-deck approach in Game 6, deploying three pitchers after Yoshinobu Yamamoto, including starter Tyler Glasnow, to force the decisive game. Scherzer has been effective in October through off-speed usage and pitch command, producing deeper outings and strikeouts despite a 4.50 ERA across 10 innings. The Blue Jays enter Game 7 with most relievers available except Kevin Gausman, as John Schneider used only four relievers in the previous game, each working short stints.
