Dodgers vs Blue Jays Pitching Matchup on Tuesday

World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto is taking the mound for the Dodgers against right-handed pitcher Kevin Gausman of the Blue Jays.

Yamamoto dazzled on the Rogers Centre mound in the 2025 World Series, helping the Dodgers win Games 2, 6 and 7 en route to a World Series victory.

Yamamoto pitched a complete game in Game 2. He then threw six innings of one-run baseball in Game 6, and came back on zero days' rest to get the final eight outs of Game 7.

This year, Yamamoto is off to a strong start, allowing four runs over 12 innings for a 3.00 ERA.

As for Gausman, he's been one of the best pitchers in baseball early this season. He's allowed just one run on three hits across 12 innings with an unbelievable 21 strikeouts.

In last year's World Series, he allowed six runs over 12.2 innings with 14 strikeouts.
