Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young winner and two-time World Series champon, was brilliant for the Dodgers after being traded by the Washington Nationals in 2021. He went 7-0 with a 1.98 ERA in 11 regular-season starts for L.A. and yielded a 2.16 ERA with 23 strikeouts in 16⅔ innings in four appearances during the postseason.

They absolutely walloped the powerful Dodgers, 11-4, in Game 1 of the World Series, sending 44,353 fans at the Rogers Centre partying into the streets.

Snell has won all three postseason starts, giving up just two earned runs in 21 innings pitched (0.86 ERA) in beating the Reds, Phillies and Brewers.
