Los Angeles Dodgers face pressure after Game 4 collapse ties World Series 2-2. Can Blake Snell redeem himself in the pivotal Game 5?

The Dodgers' listless 6-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays exposed critical flaws in both their offensive approach and bullpen reliability. Shohei Ohtani delivered a solid six-inning start, but Blake Treinen's continued struggles allowed the seventh inning to unravel completely. The offense managed just six hits while going 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position, prompting Dave Roberts to hint at significant lineup changes—potentially benching struggling Andy Pajas in favor of Miguel Rojas or Alex Call.

With the winner of Game 5 historically claiming the series 68% of the time, Blake Snell gets his redemption opportunity against rookie Trey Yesavage. The analysis covers Mookie Betts' concerning approach, Freddy Freeman's non-competitive at-bats, and why Hassan Kim might provide the spark this lineup desperately needs.

Discover whether the Dodgers can execute the necessary adjustments to avoid returning to Toronto needing two straight wins. All that and more on today’s episode of Locked On Dodgers with Harry Ruiz and Travis Rodgers!
