“Nothing beats Game 7 of the World Series. It is sheer, unfiltered entropy, this jewel of a game gone gonzo, an out-by-out mess of nibbled nails and frazzled hair and stomachs set on perpetual loop-de-loop.”
ESPN’s Jeff Passan perfectly encapsulated what Game 7 of the World Series means, and Saturday’s contest has all the makings to live up to the thrilling conclusion of the 121st edition of the Fall Classic.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have spent the entire season working to get to this point, but with the mountaintop just nine innings away, the Toronto Blue Jays will be doing everything in their power to earn their first championship since 1993.
With the chance to become baseball’s first back-to-back champions in a quarter century on the line, the great Shohei Ohtani will take the mound on three days rest.
More news: Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani to Start World Series Game 7
Ohtani has gone six innings in each of his last three starts this postseason, good for a 3.50 ERA. He allowed four earned runs on six hits the last time he was on the bump, but the superstar is likely looking for revenge on the first day of November.
Tyler Glasnow will also be expected to take on a few innings in relief after earning the save on Friday night, but did so on just three pitches. The right-hander has a 1.42 ERA across 19 innings of work this postseason.
Each spot in Saturday’s starting lineup will be pivotal with history on the line.
