Dodgers vs. Blue Jays live updates: Los Angeles scores first in World Series Game 2

The best lineups in baseball this season against the split-finger, according to FanGraphs:

Blue Jays (11.5 runs above average)Red SoxCubsDodgers (5.6)

This might be why Kevin Gausman didn’t throw a splitter to either of the first two right-handed hitters, including Will Smith, who hit a slider for his first-inning RBI single.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto doesn’t give a rip, apparently, throwing 12 splitters in the first inning. He even threw one 3-0 to Daulton Varsho. We have a battle of the splitter sickos, against two of the only teams that can hit them.
