Rays Probable Pitchers

Buehler will make his second career World Series start after a seven-inning scoreless outing in Game 3 against the Red Sox in 2018. In four starts so far this postseason, he has a 1.89 ERA and his 29 strikeouts are second-most in the 2020 playoffs.

Morton will be making his third career World Series appearance on Thursday. The last time Morton took the mound in the Fall Classic, the right-hander was recording the final out in a Game 7 win over the Dodgers in 2017. Morton is 5-0 with a 0.70 ERA in five postseason starts with the Rays.

Urias, the staff’s most versatile weapon, goes back to starting in Game 4 after closing out Game 7 of the NLCS with a three-inning save. He’s been unflappable under pressure this postseason.

Yarbrough will be making his second start and fourth appearance of the postseason. In his last start, Yarbrough led the Rays to a Game 3 win against the Astros in the ALCS, allowing two runs on three hits over five innings. He recorded two outs in a relief appearance in Game 1 of the World Series, but the lefty is expected to be available for a full workload.

Kershaw was as good as the Dodgers needed him to be in Game 1, allowing one run in six innings. He made an adjustment with the slider after the first inning and was pulled to save a bullet for this one.

Glasnow, who has been one of the Rays’ most consistent pitchers this season, will be looking for a bounce-back outing against the Dodgers. In the Game 1 loss, Glasnow walked a season-high six batters, allowing six runs over 4 1/3 innings, his second-shortest start of the postseason.

Snell was locked in early in his Game 2 start, with nine strikeouts through 4 2/3 hitless innings. But the lefty couldn’t escape the fifth, allowing four straight batters to reach and giving up two runs. Postseason included, Snell has completed more than five innings in five of his 16 starts this season.

Gonsolin will start what he hopes will be the Dodgers' first World Series-clinching victory in 32 years. The rookie right-hander has made three appearances so far this postseason (two starts), giving up eight runs in 7 2/3 innings. That includes World Series Game 2, when he started but only went 1 1/3 innings and surrendered a solo homer in a 6-4 loss.
