Why the Dodgers can win

Los Angeles is expected to send right-hander Shohei Ohtani (1-1, 2.87 ERA) to the mound to start the game, though it’s unclear how long he would pitch on three days of rest. MLB rules allow him to stay in the game as the designated hitter for the entire game if he starts as the pitcher. The Dodgers, however, are expected to have the whole pitching staff available except for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. 

Ohtani, who has +176 odds to hit a home run, is also among the Dodgers’ top hitters. In 158 games during the regular season, he hit .282 with 55 homers, 25 doubles, nine triples, 102 RBI, 146 runs scored and 20 stolen bases. He is hitting .250 during the postseason, but has two doubles, one triple, eight homers and 14 RBI. Also helping propel the offense is right fielder Teoscar Hernandez. In 16 postseason games, he is batting .269 with one double, five home runs and 12 RBI. He is 7-for-26 in the series, including a 2-for-4 performance in a 6-1 Game 5 loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday. In 134 regular-season games, he batted .247 with 29 doubles, one triple, 25 homers and 89 RBI. See which team to back at SportsLine.

Why the Blue Jays can win

Right-hander Max Scherzer (5-5, 5.19 ERA) will start for Toronto. The feisty veteran is no stranger to pitching in big games. He was a member of the World Series championship teams in Washington in 2019 and Texas in 2023. In two postseason games this year, he is 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA. In Game 4 of the American League Championship Series, he earned the win by pitching 5.2 innings, allowing just three hits, two earned runs and four walks with five strikeouts in an 8-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners.

First baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is having a monster postseason. Heading into Game 6, Guerrero had a 10-game hitting streak and was hitting .415. In 16 playoff games, Guerrero had three doubles, eight homers, 15 RBI and 12 walks. In Game 3 of the ALCS against Seattle, he was 4-for-4 with two doubles and a home run in a 13-4 win. In 156 regular-season games, he hit .292 with 23 homers, 34 doubles and 84 RBI with 96 runs scored. See which team to back at SportsLine.
