The afternoon game is once again the Blue Jays at home versus the Indians as they look to make an improbable comeback from being down 3-0. Marco Estrada is going against someone named Ryan Merritt who pitch all of 11 innings in the majors this season. I know nothing about him other than his first name is pretty solid.

Twitter lineups and pitching matchups are as follows:

In tonight's 8:00 game the Dodgers are looking to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series behind Jose Urias, the youngest player to ever start a playoff game according to this tweet of a picture of a PDF of a scan of a typed thing?

Anyway, that's damn impressive, and perhaps I shouldn't have traded him away in our TGP-centered Ottoneu league thinking that he had a huge chance to end up in the bullpen because he was so exceptionally pitch/innings limited in the minors. Oops.

Urias will be facing Jon Lester, who likes to have fun:
