Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Game 6 — probable pitchers and lineups
-
Blue Jays starter: Kevin Gausman (RHP) — the veteran right-hander gets the ball with a chance to secure the title. Expect the plan to lean on his splitter and elevate four-seamers to change eye levels against L.A.’s right-hand power.
-
Dodgers starter: Yoshinobu Yamamoto (RHP) — the ace returns after a dominant earlier outing in the series. Look for heavy splitter usage in two-strike counts and a mid-to-upper-90s fastball to the top rail.
Lineup notes to watch:
-
Toronto has toggled the top of the order around George Springer’s health; if active, he typically slots at or near leadoff, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. anchoring the middle.
-
Los Angeles has experimented with defensive alignments and batting-order tweaks to spark the offense; expect emphasis on contact and situational hitting behind Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman.
(Final lineups post close to game time; monitor your team’s official listings for confirmations.)
Series status, momentum, and what changed after Game 5
-
Toronto leads 3–2. A commanding road win in Game 5 pushed the Blue Jays one victory from their first title in more than three decades. The keys: early thunder (leadoff power, traffic on the bases) and run-prevention excellence headlined by a rookie’s strikeout record.
-
L.A.’s path: The Dodgers need Yamamoto to set the tone, then bully matchups with a deeper bullpen look. Manufacturing runs—steals, hit-and-runs, aggressive first-pitch swings—could be emphasized if extra-base power remains scarce.
-
Toronto’s path: Score early again and shorten the game for a rested late-inning group. Gausman’s efficiency matters; anything past six clean frames tilts leverage towards the home side.

What to watch for in Game 6
-
First-inning swings: This series has tilted when the road to five outs gets long early. If either side posts a crooked number in the first two frames, win probability shifts fast.
-
Splitter duel: Both starters can deaden bats with elite splitters. Whichever lineup resists chase better likely controls the middle innings.
-
Defensive execution: With power suppressed at times, extra bases on the margins—outfield arms, double-play turns, bunt coverage—could decide it.
-
Bench bullets: Late-inning pinch-hit matchups against same-handed relievers will be pivotal; keep an eye on who’s saved for a ninth-inning showdown.
