Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer would be starting the game, but it will be “all hands on deck” for Toronto as the team looks to win their first championship since 1993.
“Yup. Everyone that is active on the roster will be available to pitch,” Schneider said after Game 6. “Maybe even (Kevin Gausman, who pitched in Friday’s Game 6). It will be all hands on deck tomorrow.”
Gausman threw 93 pitches on Friday night, but in what will be the final game of the season, Schneider wasn’t ready to rule anything out.
The future Hall of Famer Scherzer will start things off for Toronto in one of the biggest games of his storied career. Schneider felt very confident in the 41-year-old taking the bump on Saturday night.

“Very (confident),” Schneider said. “Him, everyone. It’s the two best words in sports, Game 7. No better guy to have on the mound to kind of navigate the emotions, the stuff. Max has been getting ready for Game 7 when he knew he was pitching Game 3. So all the confidence in the world in him and everyone tomorrow.”
The Dodgers don’t yet know their pitching plans, but manager Dave Roberts said everyone aside from Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be available.
Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani are both expected to factor into the game, and Blake Snell — who pitched Wednesday night in Game 5 — will be available, too.
The World Series concludes on Saturday night with first pitch scheduled for 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET. The Dodgers will either become baseball’s first back-to-back champion in 25 years, or the Blue Jays will win their first title since 1993.
