\"OCTOBER<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The last time the Dodgers visited Toronto, the Blue Jays organization was at rock bottom.<\/p>\n

The club was barreling toward a last-place finish in the American League East in 2024. Its fan base was disgruntled with a sorely disappointing offseason. And Rogers Centre was booing Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani, who spurned the Blue Jays after they were a finalist in his free agency process to sign in Los Angeles instead.<\/p>\n

What a difference a couple years can make.<\/p>\n

When the Dodgers return to Toronto this week, it will be for Game 1 of the World Series, beginning on Friday night.<\/p>\n

After going from worst-to-first in the AL East this season, then staving off elimination in Game 6 of the AL Championship Series on Sunday, the Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 4-3 in a Game 7 classic on Monday night, giving the club its first AL pennant in 32 years.<\/p>\n

The matchup with the Dodgers will offer star power on both sides, with the AL\u2019s No. 1 seed this postseason squaring off against a defending champion trying to cement a dynasty.<\/p>\n

For the Blue Jays, this will be their first World Series trip since winning back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993. For the Dodgers, one last test in their quest to repeat.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Game 1 on Friday night, here are nine things to know about the Blue Jays.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2<\/p>\n

\n

Swatting the soft stuff<\/h3>\n
\n

The Blue Jays had one of the best offenses in the majors this year, ranking fourth in scoring, first in batting average and third in OPS.<\/p>\n

The way they did it: By being the best lineup in baseball against off-speed and breaking pitches.<\/p>\n

Against non-fastballs this season, no team in MLB had a higher average (.258), a better slugging percentage (.423) or a lower whiff rate (25.8%) than Toronto.<\/p>\n

They were fine against heaters, too, hitting .272 (seventh-best batting average) with a .431 slugging percentage (matching the league-average mark). But their ability to hit the soft stuff was singular. The next closest team in average against non-fastballs was the Kansas City Royals, and were 16 points behind the Blue Jays in that category.<\/p>\n

It could pose a challenge for a Dodgers staff that has leaned heavily on secondary stuff this postseason (throwing non-fastballs more than 50% of the time) and features a rotation of pitchers with premium breaking stuff (from Blake Snell\u2019s changeup to Yoshinobu Yamamoto\u2019s splitter to Tyler Glasnow\u2019s slider\/curveball combination).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3<\/p>\n

\n

Vlad Jr.\u2019s coming out party<\/h3>\n
\n

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was a big name in baseball \u2014 thanks to his famous name \u2014 from the day he arrived in the majors in 2019.<\/p>\n

In seven seasons since, he has blossomed into one of the sport\u2019s biggest stars, becoming a five-time All-Star who has averaged more than 30 home runs per year since 2021.<\/p>\n

And this October, his rise has culminated with one of the best playoff hitting performances in MLB history, with Guerrero batting .442 to go along with six home runs, 12 RBIs and a 1.440 OPS (sixth-best in all-time among players with at least 40 plate appearances in one postseason).<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old slugger is a tough out (he\u2019s struck out just three times in 11 playoff games), a constant on-base threat (he\u2019s reached safely in more than half of his 51 trips to the plate) and Toronto\u2019s biggest slugging threat (he also has three doubles).<\/p>\n

He is the face of the franchise, and the epitome of what makes the Blue Jays\u2019 lineup so dangerous. Also, he has good numbers against the Dodgers\u2019 rotation, with a career .323 average against Glasnow, Snell and Ohtani combined (he has never faced Yamamoto).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Springer\u2019s still got it<\/h3>\n

Entering his age-35 season, and coming off his worst career offensive performance in 2024, George Springer\u2019s career appeared to be on the decline at the start of the year.<\/p>\n

Instead, he produced perhaps the best of his 12 MLB seasons.<\/p>\n

Springer, now 36, hit a career-best .309 for the Blue Jays this year with 32 home runs, 84 RBIs and a .959 OPS (marks he hadn\u2019t previously reached since 2019, when he was a member of the Houston Astros).<\/p>\n

He has continued to be a threat in the playoffs, hitting the go-ahead three-run home run in Monday\u2019s Game 7 that lifted the Blue Jays into the World Series.<\/p>\n

Springer is a familiar villain for the Dodgers fans, too, having been part of the Astros\u2019 2017 sign-stealing team. But he has found renewed success in his second chapter in Toronto, giving the Blue Jays a battled-tested October veteran on a team with no other lineup regulars above the age of 30.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

5<\/p>\n

\n

The October surprises<\/h3>\n
\n

Utilitymen Ernie Clement, Addison Barger and Nathan Lukes were productive players for the Blue Jays this year, combining to hit .260 with 42 home runs and 189 RBIs in the regular season.<\/p>\n

But this fall, the previously anonymous role players have taken their game to a different level.<\/p>\n

Clement, a 29-year-old journeyman who has found a home with the Blue Jays the past two seasons, is hitting .429 with five extra-base hits, seven RBIs and a 1.063 OPS this October. Barger, a former sixth-round pick in Toronto, is hitting .286 while Lukes, a former minor-league signing, is hitting .333 \u2014 serving as the Blue Jays\u2019 biggest threats from the left side of the plate along with outfielder Daulton Varsho (who is hitting .273 in the playoffs).<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve given the Blue Jays\u2019 lineup length, balance and unexpected pop, helping compensate for the absence of shortstop Bo Bichette with the kind of breakout performances that can often make the difference between a short postseason and deep October run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

Bichette coming back?<\/h3>\n
\n

About Bichette\u2026<\/p>\n

After a dismal 2024 season, the two-time All-Star returned to form this year with a .311 average, 18 home runs and 94 RBIs, trailing only Guerrero and Springer on the team with an .840 OPS.<\/p>\n

However, he hasn\u2019t played since Sept. 6 because of a sprained knee. The question for this week: Whether he\u2019ll be a factor in the World Series.<\/p>\n

Blue Jays manager John Schneider has left that possibility open, noting recently that Bichette has made \u201csignificant progress\u201d in his recovery. And if he can play any sort of role in the Fall Classic, it will add that much more depth to an already humming Toronto offense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

An experienced rotation<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

The Blue Jays can\u2019t match the in-their-prime talent of the Dodgers\u2019 starting rotation. But they have had plenty of experience on the mound this October.<\/p>\n

Kevin Gausman, a 34-year-old two-time All-Star has anchored the staff, posing a 2.12 ERA in three starts (despite having just 12 strikeouts in 17 innings). Former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber, a trade deadline acquisition from Cleveland, returned late in the season from Tommy John surgery and has also been good in three starts (even though he managed just 3 \u2154 innings while giving up two runs in Game 7 of the ALCS on Monday).<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s 40-year-old future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer, who had a career-worst 5.19 ERA in an injury-shortened regular season but gave up just two runs in 5 \u2154 innings in his lone ALCS start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

8<\/p>\n

\n

A breakout rookie star<\/h3>\n
\n

The other member of Toronto\u2019s rotation is on the complete opposite end of the age spectrum.<\/p>\n

Though he began this season in low-A ball, and didn\u2019t even make his MLB debut until the middle of September, 22-year-old Trey Yesavage has become an October sensation north of border, having won two of his three starts thanks first and foremost to a nasty splitter that drops from the sky in his 6-foot-4 delivery.<\/p>\n

Yesavage used the pitch to dominate the New York Yankees in the ALDS, when he had 11 strikeouts in 5 \u2153 scoreless innings. Then, after giving up five runs in four frames in Game 2 of the ALCS, he bounced back with a 5 \u2154-inning, two-run performance in Game 6 that helped Toronto stave off elimination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

9<\/p>\n

\n

Big outs from the bullpen<\/h3>\n
\n

The Blue Jays\u2019 bullpen, frankly, has not been very good in this postseason. Entering Monday\u2019s Game 7, the group had a 6.02 ERA and only one successful save.<\/p>\n

In that Game 7, however, the Blue Jays showed the ability that still resides in that group.<\/p>\n

Louis Varland, a right-hander acquired at the trade deadline, recorded four outs while giving up just one run, and has a 3.27 ERA in the playoffs. Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez, another right-handed deadline acquisition, pitched a scoreless inning to lower his October ERA to 4.05.<\/p>\n

Toronto used a couple starters from there, getting scoreless innings from Gausman and fellow veteran Chris Bassitt.<\/p>\n

But at the end, the final three outs belonged to veteran right-hander Jeff Hoffman, a 2024 All-Star who had a disappointing debut season after signing in Toronto this offseason, but now has both of their postseason saves.<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays\u2019 one big bullpen weakness is its lack of dominant left-handed depth. Mason Fluharty has been their best southpaw, but has a 6.23 ERA in the playoffs. Brendon Little, Eric Lauer and ex-Dodger Justin Bruihl are also on their roster, but haven\u2019t been any more effective.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

10<\/p>\n

\n

Home-field advantage<\/h3>\n
\n

The Blue Jays won one more game than the Dodgers in the regular season. Which means they\u2019ll get a potential important home-field advantage for the World Series.<\/p>\n

Toronto\u2019s 54 home wins this year were second most in the majors, only one worse than the Philadelphia Phillies\u2019 league-best home record. And in the playoffs, Rogers Centre has been a fortress when it has mattered most, with the Blue Jays winning both games at home in the ALDS and then, despite dropping Games 1 and 2 at home in ALCS, returning for back-to-back elimination victories in Games 6 and 7.<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays\u2019 offense has been particularly good at Rogers Centre this year, with the club averaging 5.32 runs-per-game there in the regular season (compared to 4.53 on the road).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
