Dodgers Announce Snell Yamamoto Starters World Series Toronto

The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced their starting pitchers for the 2025 World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays, with Blake Snell starting Game 1 and Yoshinobu Yamamoto starting Game 2, replicating the rotation that led them to sweep the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series. Both Snell and Yamamoto have delivered historic performances in the postseason, with Snell throwing eight scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts in Game 1 of the NLCS and Yamamoto pitching a complete-game three-hitter in Game 2. Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani are expected to start Games 3 and 4, respectively, continuing the rotation order used in the NLCS, with Ohtani notably hitting three home runs while striking out 10 batters in his NLCS start. The Dodgers' starting rotation boasts a remarkable combined 0.63 ERA and 35 strikeouts in the NLCS, contributing to their strong playoff run. Despite the dominant starting pitching, the Dodgers' bullpen remains an area of concern as they prepare to face the Blue Jays' powerful right-handed hitters. The World Series will begin on October 24 at Toronto's Rogers Centre, with the series alternating between Toronto and Los Angeles venues.
