If Seattle wins one of two games in Toronto, Blake Snell versus Logan Gilbert is the likely World Series Game 1 pitching matchup.

The Dodgers will be on full rest, so their rotation should remain similar to the NLCS. The ALCS will end no later than Sunday, so Seattle or Toronto will have their starters pitch on full rest, starting with World Series Game 1 on Friday.

Snell has been fantastic this postseason for the Dodgers with 28 strikeouts, six hits allowed and two earned runs conceded 21 innings.

Snell has 18 strikeouts in two previous World Series starts. He allowed four hits and three earned runs in those appearances, but he only lasted 10 innings.

A longer start should be in the cards for Snell in Game 1 given how well he’s pitched so far this postseason.

Gilbert, who started ALCS Game 2 and likely will start ALCS Game 6, would be Seattle’s Game 1 starter if the staff is on full rest.

Gilbert hasn’t been as effective as Snell, but he has the strikeout stuff to fool the Dodgers lineup and keep the Mariners in the contest.

If the series goes long, Snell-versus-Gilbert could pop up twice in Games 1 and 5.
