Where to watch, time, channel as Dodgers, Blue Jays meet in Game 5

Shohei Ohtani and Vlad Guerrero Jr. have been two of the most dominant hitters this postseason, and their combined slugging abilities have landed them in the history books. After Game 4, both hitters became the third pair to hit at least seven homers in a postseason.
Trey Yesavage rocks back to deliver a pitch and his arm whips down from behind his head as his body tilts to the left, the highest arm slot of any right-handed pitcher this postseason.
“I’m sure some people think that would hurt to go all the way up there,” Toronto’s 22-year-old rookie said. “Everyone thinks it’s unique, which it is.”
Yesavage starts Game 5 of the World Series for the Blue Jays on Wednesday night in his fifth postseason outing after just three career regular-season starts. He allowed two runs over four innings in the opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers, lacking the explosive fastball that dominated the New York Yankees for 5 1/3 hitless innings in the AL Division Series.
His 65-degree arm angle was exceeded in the postseason only by Alex Vesia at 67. A 29-year-old Dodgers left-hander, Vesia is missing the World Series because of a personal matter.
Yesavage’s arm slot caused a release point 7.09 feet above the field, according to MLB Statcast, the second-highest among starting pitchers with at least 200 regular-season pitches behind Justin Verlander’s 7.1.
“Some of that has to do with mobility and being younger,” said 37-year-old Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen. “You just hope that they can find a way to stay healthy and mobile.”
