World Series Game 4 is a MUST-WIN for the Blue Jays after the heartbreaking 18-inning loss. Former Sportsnet 960 host Peter Klein breaks down what Toronto needs tonight: Shane Bieber must be an ACE, Vlad Jr. needs his World Series moment, and the big guys have to step up.
⚾ GAME 4: MUST-WIN FOR TORONTO After 18 innings mere hours ago, both teams are back at it. Key #1: Who's awake? Key #2: Can the Blue Jays avoid going down 3-1? Peter's take: "Around the 12th or 13th inning, Game 3 BECAME a must-win and they didn't get it. Tonight is absolutely a must-win."
🎯 WHAT THE BLUE JAYS NEED: Shane Bieber MUST Be an ACE: Needs to be Game 3 ALCS Bieber, not Game 7 ALCS Bieber. Dust off that Cy Young and BE that guy. He'll be required to pitch deep with everyone exhausted from last night's marathon. Cannot have first-inning struggles against this lineup. Must set the tone from pitch one.
Vlad Guerrero Jr. Needs His World Series Moment: He had it in the ALCS (that sunset homer at T-Mobile Park). He had it in the ALDS (bat flips, jomboy clips). Defensively he's been great (that throw to third last night!), but offensively? He needs to TAKE OVER this game. Needs his Shohei game - be the best player on the field tonight.
Quick Start is CRITICAL: Can't dig an early hole. Toronto is the comeback kids all season, but they need momentum early after that gut-punch loss.
💔 IT FEELS OVER, BUT... Peter admits it feels over this morning. Winning 3 of 4 against THIS Dodgers team feels daunting. BUT this team felt dead down 2-0 going to Seattle in the ALCS and came back!
The Dodgers are a different animal, but Toronto has been comeback kids ALL YEAR. This has to be their biggest one yet.
📊 IF BLUE JAYS WIN TONIGHT: Still a bad matchup for Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow. Toronto proved in Game 3 they can wear these guys down. The scary part? Yamamoto still lurking for Game 6. But you'd have Bieber, Gausman, and Yusei Kikuchi with a chance to win the World Series. That's a decent spot if you can get there.
LINEUP QUESTIONS: If Springer can't go, who leads off? Peter's pick: Nathan Lukes if he can focus on getting on base. Kirk needs to hit behind Vlad to prevent walks all night.
