Dodgers Game 3 starter Tyler Glasnow spent six seasons with the Tampa Bays Rays, so he’s familiar to the Toronto Blue Jays. He’s faced the Jays 11 times in his career, with the Red Sox for his second-most starts against any organization. His ERA in those starts is 5.82, Glasnow’s worst for any team he’s started against more than four times.
Most of that damage, though, came years ago. In his past two seasons with the Dodgers, Glasnow has faced the Blue Jays twice, with a total of three earned runs in 11 2/3 innings. He took a no-decision against the Blue Jays in August, allowing a lot of baserunners but also generating two double plays and striking out eight.
Three key Blue Jays lefties (Daulton Varsho, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes) are hitless in their careers against Glasnow, but Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has a 1.214 OPS in 14 career at-bats against him, including an RBI double in August. Here are the Blue Jays’ career numbers against the Dodgers’ starter.
