How about an encore, fellas?
OK, maybe not one that lasts 6 hours and 39 minutes.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays will be back at it Tuesday for Game 4, returning to Dodger Stadium less than 18 hours after an epic Game 3 that lasted 18 innings and resulted in a 6-5 Dodgers victory and 2-1 World Series lead.
Shohei Ohtani will command the Fall Classic stage again as the Dodgers' starting pitcher. The last time he was on the mound, he closed out the Milwaukee Brewers via 10 strikeouts over six innings in Game 4 of the NLCS. Oh, and he hit three homers and had the sports world buzzing about his performance being the greatest game ever played by a baseball player.
In Game 4, the staggered Jays will send starter Shane Bieber to the mound to try to tie the series and guarantee a return to Toronto for at least a Game 6.
"Shane Bieber is gonna be asked to do a lot because everybody's gonna be tired, and the bullpen is obviously not in a great spot," Yahoo Sports' Jordan Shusterman said on the latest episode of the "Baseball Bar-B-Cast."
Fatigue will be a factor, no matter how much of a brave and admirable face Toronto manager John Schneider tries to put forth to rally his team.
"While I totally understand John Schneider with the great quote saying that the Dodgers did not win the World Series tonight, they won a game," Shusterman said. "That's a great quote, and that's a great mindset. I totally get it. But it's hard not to wonder the repercussions that this game is going to have for the rest of the series — for extremely obvious reasons."
The Jays also lost George Springer to injury well before extra innings set in (he is out of the starting lineup for Game 4) and ended up using eight pitchers after starter Max Scherzer. So all signs point toward momentum being in the Dodgers' favor, right?
Not quite, says Yahoo Sports' Jake Mintz on the "Bar-B-Cast" podcast.
"I don't think that either of the Dodgers or the Blue Jays wake up [Tuesday] at more or less of a disadvantage than the other. If anything, not to doubt Shohei Ohtani, if anything, I would say that the Blue Jays have a very small advantage that their pitcher for [Tuesday] didn't have to freaking play a baseball game [Monday night]."
