Then, <a class=\"entity\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/mlb\/yoshinobu-yamamoto-player\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a> will get the ball in the second game in Toronto. Both have been nearly untouchable throughout the 2025 postseason and have a chance to give the Dodgers home-field advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-7979a9d5=\"\">Snell has started three games in these playoffs \u2014 one in each series. He&#8217;s pitched at least six innings and struck out at least nine batters in each of those three outings. In his last two games \u2014 Game 2 against the <a class=\"entity\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/mlb\/philadelphia-phillies-team\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Phillies<\/a> and Game 1 against the <a class=\"entity\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/mlb\/milwaukee-brewers-team\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brewers<\/a> \u2014 he allowed just a total of two hits and zero runs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-7979a9d5=\"\">Yamamoto has been equally stellar. He complements Snell&#8217;s hard-throwing approach with precision. In Game 2 of the NLCS, he pitched the first complete game in the playoffs since Justin Verlander in the 2017 ALCS. Over 19 2\/3 playoff innings, he&#8217;s struck out 18 batters and walked just four.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-7979a9d5=\"\">Behind Snell and Yamamoto, the Dodgers will try to take a 2-0 lead in Toronto before the World Series comes back to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-7979a9d5=\"\">Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/newsletter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Create or log in to your FOX Sports account<\/a> and follow leagues, teams and players to receive a personalized newsletter daily!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Dodgers announced their starting pitchers for Game 1 and Game 2 of the World Series.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":231120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-231119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
