Tonight, at 5:00 PDT and 8:00 EDT, the Dodgers will take the field in the Rogers Center to face the Blue Jays. 32-year-old Blake Snell will take the mound against 22-year-old Trey Yesavage. Snell has 10 years of experience and has pitched 1,158 regular-season innings and 70 more innings in the postseason. Trey Yesavage has pitched 14 innings in the regular season and has accumulated 15 innings in the playoffs. Snell has a 0.86 ERA in the playoffs this year, while Yesavage has a 4.20 ERA. What that all means, we shall find out! At 22 years and 88 days old, Yesavage will be the second-youngest Game 1 starting pitcher in World Series history, behind just the Dodgers’ Ralph Branca (21 years, 267 days) in 1947.
