Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell is feeling confident heading into his Game 5 start for the World Series lead on Wednesday. The Dodgers are tied 2-2 after the Toronto Blue Jays delivered a rousing offensive performance and a strong pitching day from their arms.

Take Game 1 of the NLCS against the Brewers. Snell turned one of the best fastball-hitting lineups in baseball into a group left scratching its heads. Snell, holding on to a 1-0 lead, made a living pitching backward, and dropped in a 0-0 curveball to Sal Frelick for a called first strike.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell believes he was "unlucky" during his lackluster outing, despite pitching well.

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays by a 3-1 final on Friday in a thrilling Game 6 of the World Series on Friday night. In turn, the Dodgers evened the best-of-seven set at 3-3 and forced a decisive Game 7 on Saturday night. The question for the Dodgers now becomes: who starts on the mound in the championship-deciding contest?

The Blue Jays have been dealing with rotation issues throughout the playoffs, as only three of their starting pitchers played in each of the first two series. Since both Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber pitched in Game 7 of the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners, Toronto will send out a rookie to take the mound vs. the powerhouse Dodgers.

Long before Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow reunited with the Los Angeles Dodgers this year, the pitching duo used to play for the Tampa Bay Rays.
