Lose not loose

no way Yamamoto ready to pitch after that 9 inning show after only 2 days' rest. LA should save him for game 7 and hope, wish, pray, cajole, steal, beg, a lot of people for a game 7.

LA might win, not saying they won't. But the only time the Jays offense has been held down in this series, was after they were off two win-or-die games vs. Seattle, and then off a game 1 of this WS (after experiencing the pressure of being behind multiple runs in-game). Those accumulative efforts require the Jays players spending a lot of mental and emotional energy (never mind the physical), and these guys aren't robots, they're human. So their totaling 1 run in game 2 was their valley performance after 3 straight peak performances. Who got to pitch for them in their most vulnerable spot in this series? Yamamoto. Since then they've scored 5, 6 & 6 run totals. I would say that there's a danger of reading too much into the fact Yamamoto held them down in that game. It had more to do with where the Jays were at than Yamamoto himself. Now you might argue once again they're off 3 peak performances (they haven't lost in reg. innings these past 3 games while LA has twice, so its clear which team's been performing at their peak vs which hasn't) and thus if they were vulnerable off 3 peak performances for g2 then the same dynamic could be equally said to apply for this game. But these past 3 games haven't ALL been win-or-die spots (arguably g4 was, but teams have won the WS from 3-1 down), as two were vs. Seattle, and then g1 of your first WS as a franchise for 30+ years has an energy to it all of its own. The novelty of simply playing in a WS game has by now worn right off. Now the novelty is playing in a game to win a WS. I fail to see how a team could be flat for that, like the Jays weren't flat for those 3 straight 'special' games they played prior to their g2 loss.
In short, they might lose but anyone thinking Yamamoto repeats g2 because it was totally down to his pitching, I think you might find out otherwise. Can't see Toronto held to 2 or less here. If they lose I'd guess a 4-3 scoreline, or certainly that type of score on the board late before the pen explodes in a pressure situation. No repeat 5-1 loss here.
