For NPR News, I'm Steve Fetterman at the World Series in Toronto.

When the series began a week ago tonight, the Dodgers were the clear favorites.

Now they find themselves in a do-or-die situation.

They must win game six to stay alive.

While Toronto has to win just one of the next two games, L.A.

needs to win both.

Dodger manager Dave Roberts says his hitters are the big concern.

In the last two games, Los Angeles, with its powerhouse lineup featuring Shohei Otani, has scored a total of just three runs.

Tonight, L.A.

will be going with its most effective pitcher this postseason, Yoshi Yamamoto.

He won game two, throwing a complete game.

For NPR News, I'm Steve Fetterman at the World Series in Toronto.

The Blue Jays won game one.

The Dodgers took game two.

Now the series has moved 2,100 miles from Toronto to here in Los Angeles.

Pitching tonight for the Blue Jays will be 41-year-old Max Scherzer.

This is his fourth World Series.

He is doing it with his fourth different team.

He says he's grateful just to be here.
