Scherzer to Start Game 7; Dodgers' Starter Undecided

Max Scherzer, 41 and a future Hall of Famer, will start Game 7 of the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto — his second winner-take-all World Series Game 7 start and a rare feat among pitchers. The Dodgers' Game 7 starter remains undecided after Game 6; options include Tyler Glasnow (who worked in relief in Game 6) or two-way star Shohei Ohtani on three days' rest, a decision influenced by MLB's DH rules and Ohtani's hitting ability. Los Angeles forced the decisive game with a 3–1 Game 6 victory in which Yoshinobu Yamamoto started and Glasnow provided key late relief. Scherzer, a one-year signing, has been a veteran leader for Toronto as the club chases another title. The matchup could cap Scherzer's illustrious career and will hinge on managerial decisions about pitcher usage and Ohtani's two-way role.
