LAD vs TOR Game 2 Starting Pitchers

Yamamoto has been objectively better this year, both in the regular season and the playoffs.

He’s made three starts in the postseason. Two were outstanding while the other was subpar. He went 6.2 innings in Game 2 of the Wild Card against the Reds, allowing two runs (both unearned) on four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts. In Game 3 against the Phillies in the NLDS, he allowed three runs on six hits and a walk over just 4.0 IP with only two Ks.

He bounced back in a big way Game 2 against Milwaukee in the NLCS, pitching a complete-game three-hitter, allowing just one run with seven strikeouts.

Only two players on the Toronto roster have faced Yamamoto before: Isiah Kiner-Falefa is 1-for-2 with a single and a strikeout. Ty France is 0-for-1 with a walk and a K.

Gausman has made three postseason starts as well, plus a one-inning relief appearance in Game 7 of the ALCS against the Mariners. He lasted an identical 5.2 IP in all three starts, allowing a total of four runs on ten hits and nine walks with 12 strikeouts.

Gausman, who pitched in the NL from 2018 to 2021, has a long history against many of the Dodger hitters. Over 156 ABs, Gausman has limited the Dodgers to a .237 average and .757 OPS. Max Muncy has by far the best history against the Toronto righty, generating a 1.444 OPS in 18 ABs with three home runs and two doubles.
