4 Minute ReadDodgers vs. Blue Jays Prediction: Can Yoshinobu Yamamoto Save Dodgers on Friday Night, Force a Game 7?
Game 6 of the World Series shifts back to Rogers Centre tonight as the Toronto Blue Jays host the Los Angeles Dodgers — and with the Dodgers facing elimination, I’m backing L.A. on the moneyline to force a Game 7.
Even though Toronto enters with a 3–2 series lead and all the momentum after stealing Game 5 in L.A., the matchup on the mound gives the Dodgers a clear edge tonight. Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Kevin Gausman is the biggest reason this number is short — and why the Dodgers are absolutely live to extend the series.

Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Odds
Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Game 6 Prediction
Yamamoto was dominant in his last outing against the Jays, throwing 9 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 8 K in Game 2 — his second straight complete game of the postseason.
He has been one of the most elite pitchers in MLB this year:
- 2.73 xERA (2nd-best in MLB)
- 6th in CSW%
- 11th in K-BB%
- .509 & .527 OPS allowed the 2nd and 3rd time through the order
The biggest thing about Yamamoto is his in-game adjustments. He doesn’t give hitters the same pitch mix twice — splitter early, fastball second time through, cutter/curve later. Toronto saw that firsthand already. Meanwhile, Gausman is still a good pitcher, but his numbers clearly lag behind Yamamoto:
- Expected to finish 0.75–1.00 runs worse in ERA
- Much more vulnerable late in outings (blew up in the 7th inning of Game 2)
- Same pitch mix Trey Yesavage used — and the Dodgers already just saw it
This is a bad spot for Gausman: L.A. is the best team in MLB vs. splitters over the last two seasons.
Even though Toronto has outscored L.A. recently, the underlying numbers show the Dodgers have actually been the slightly better offense this series:
The difference? Bad luck.L.A. has just a .236 BABIP in the World Series — Toronto is at .297. That will not hold for long. Especially against a pitcher the Dodgers just saw 5 days ago.
Dodgers Bullpen Edge
Both bullpens are showing fatigue, but the key difference?
- Dodgers hitters have now faced Toronto’s top four relievers three times each
- Roki Sasaki is fully rested & available for up to two innings
- L.A. has more high-leverage arms who haven’t been burned in the past three games
- Toronto, meanwhile, has multiple relievers who are one appearance away from fumes — and may have to get 12+ outs after Gausman exits.

The market is pricing Toronto like this series is already over. But the matchup on the mound is the most lopsided we’ve had all series — and the Dodgers remain the more complete team top to bottom. A Game 7 is coming.
