The Los Angeles Dodgers will head up north and look to defend their World Series title against the Toronto Blue Jays, who defeated the Seattle Mariners in comeback fashion during Game 7 of the ALCS on Monday night.

Los Angeles breezed through the National League side of the playoff bracket, sweeping the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card Series and besting the Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 in the Division Series before also sweeping the Milwaukee Brewers in the ALCS. The Blue Jays, who were the No. 1 seed in the American League, took down the New York Yankees in four games in the Division Series before eliminating the Mariners.

Blake Snell will get the start for the Dodgers amidst one of the more dominant postseason runs by a pitcher in recent memory. He’s allowed just two earned runs, both of which came against the Reds in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series, and has recorded 28 strikeouts over 21 innings. Yesavage, a first-round pick last year, made just three regular season starts before becoming an important part of Toronto’s playoff success. He last pitched vs. Seattle in Game 6 of the ALCS and allowed two earned runs over 5 2/3 innings while striking out seven batters.
