Dave Roberts, manager of the Dodgers, spoke about Game 7 of the World Series and stated that it will be life or death this Saturday in Toronto.
“This is life or death, you have to give everything on the field,” Roberts told the press about the team’s mentality to win Game 6 and what it will be like for the last game of the final.
“The same combination tomorrow,” highlighted the veteran strategist who counted on another great start from Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the timely hitting of Mookie Betts for the three-run inning.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto trusts his team to win the World Series
Yamamoto, who pitched six innings of one run and six strikeouts to win his second game in this Fall Classic, He said that the fundamental thing in his presentation this Friday was to maintain confidence, both in himself and in his teammates.
“I trusted myself, I trusted my team and my colleagues, and I just wanted to do my job”said the Japanese, who said he expected a tough battle in the decisive match.
“Tomorrow I think both teams have to give their all, so I think it will be a good game,” said Yamamoto, who improved his record to 2-0, with 15 innings pitched and only two runs allowed in the championship contest against the Blue Jays.
For Game 7, all the pitchers are available except Yamamoto after his great work of 96 pitches.
Shohei Ohtani will be the likely starting pitcher with a short three-day rest and then move on to Tyler Glasnow, who achieved a record this Friday.
The right-hander became the first reliever to record a 1.0 inning save with just three pitches in a World Series.
Glasnow could be the second pitcher behind Ohtani and then go with the bullpen that remained this Friday.
For the Blue Jays, Max Scherzer will pitch as a starter, although Trey Yesavage said he is ready to pitch as well.
