As the World Series moves back to Canada, Game 6 will be a battle of the aces.
In a rematch of game 2, Kevin Gausman will be on the mound for the Toronto Blue Jays, while Yoshinobu Yamamato gets the start for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yamamoto won the previous contest, hurling his second consecutive complete game.
The Blue Jays will be in tough tonight against one of the postseason's all-time greatest pitchers.
Not only did Yamamato go the distance in Game 2, he volunteered to pitch out of the bullpen in Game 3 should the game have gone past 18 innings.

What Yamamoto has done has been nothing short of remarkable.
While the Blue Jays have a great home record and have momentum on their side following victories in Games 3 and 4, Game 2 was also played at Rogers Centre following a victory, so nothing is guaranteed going into tonight.
Dodger bats have gone cold since 18 inning marathon
What the Blue Jays do have on their side though, is ice cold Dodgers bats. Los Angeles has scored four runs in their last 29 innings, though with the day off they will be more rested than they were on Tuesday night.
With Gausman and Yamamoto on the mound, Game 6 is likely to be a low-scoring affair. If the Blue Jays can score early, they may be able to clinch tonight.
But it won't come easy.
