World Series Rematch Set: What This Surprising Schedule Twist Means for Baseball’s Biggest Rivalry
The Blue Jays are coming into this series in need of a win. As if they needed any extra motivation, the team has dropped four straight games after starting the year 4-1. The worst part of it is that they lost all four of those games to the lowly White Sox. They dropped two games in extra innings in back-to-back games to the Rockies and White Sox. For a team that could’ve realistically started with a 9-0 record, this has been a bad result with them going 4-5. Maybe they were thinking too much about this series and getting a bit of revenge. Who knows? What I do know is that they need to get it together and stop the bleeding. They get a veteran presence on the mound who is familiar with doing that. Max Scherzer takes the ball for Toronto. Despite being 41, Scherzer looked great in his season debut, going six innings allowing just one solo homer on four hits. He had two starts in the World Series and allowed four earned runs over 8.2 innings for Toronto. They lost both of those games in extra innings, including the infamous Game 7 that Scherzer started. Overall, Dodgers hitters are 38-for-174 against Scherzer with only Shohei Ohtani really excelling against him.Â
