That's all the Reds, Phillies, and Brewers had to do as well.

Yes, and the Reds demonstrated what to do, just failed on execution offensively and defensively. Yamamoto left the game in the 7th at 113 pitches. The previous game the Dodgers walked in, I think, 3 straight runs in the 7th or 8th. Don't know how the Phils did against Yamamoto, but he threw a CG against the Brewers (113 pitches). If the Dodgers starters are as sharp against the Blue Jays, maybe they will win. Blue Jays have arguably/statistically the best offense, and we'll see if the Dodgers are constantly painting the black with those huge curve balls after extended time off, like they were against the Brewers.

Due to a little bit of rust on the Dodgers, maybe the BJ's will put up crooked numbers in the 1st innings and prevent the starters from going longer than 6. Of course the BJ's don't have the best pitching, although I think the bullpen is pretty good. BJ's are very good at coming from behind to win games this year. We shall see.

Do the Blue Jays have any LH starters? Could be a problem vs. that cyborg at the top of the Dodgers' lineup.

I thought it would be easy to root against the Dodgers here but it really isn't.

Two teams from the same class of luxury tax payers. I don't really care who wins it. Not sure how much I'll watch.

I was shocked when I saw the Jays payroll is up there with the big spenders. And an Astros sign-stealer is one of their best hitters, just to add contemptibility. Nonetheless I'm for the Jays in this series.
