The MLB postseason can come to a close tonight, as the Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from winning the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in game 6 of the best-of-seven matchup.
It will be no easy feat and the Blue Jays will have several keys to the game to get them over the hump.
Blue Jays play their biggest game in 30 years.
Laura Sebben of CTV News broke down the keys to the game tonight for the Blue Jays, and how for the first time in 30 years, they can win the World Series.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be pitching and last time he did, it did not go well for the Blue Jays, Kevin Gausman will be starting for the Jays.
"Both pitched in Game 2, which the Jays ended up losing 5-1 and that saw Yamamoto pitch a complete game. With a chance to win their first World Series title since 1993, what do the Jays have to do to try and best the ace tonight and avoid a Game 7? Experts and fans say things like defence and figuring out Yamamoto in their second go at him."-Sebben
With two solid pitchers playing tonight, the key for the Blue Jays will be playing defence like they have all series long. There cannot be any mistakes, because they will not be likely to get a lot of hits tonight.
Hopefully the Blue Jays will be better prepared to face Yamamoto, and with how good their hitting has been all season and postseason, they're in a good position to bring it home.
Nicholas Paleolog of Blue Jays Today Podcast shared his thoughts.
«I'm definitely a little nervous about how their at-bats are going to look against him,» he said. «I'm very thankful that it's not going to be an elimination game, because that's something that we were very worried about... So, it does feel like we're playing with a lot of upside, because I do expect Yamamoto to be great, but if this lineup is capable of figuring him out, like they've been capable of doing with effectively every other pitcher in baseball this year, then there is that possibility of hoisting (the Commissioner's Trophy).»-Paleolog
The entire country will be tuning in tonight to watch the Blue Jays bring the Commissioner's trophy back to Canada for the first time in 30 years.
