"Why Springer and Scherzer will be relied upon for their World Series Game 7 experience George Springer and Max Scherzer have been on this stage before. The two veterans already have World Series rings in their trophy case and both have come courtesy of Game 7 wins. Ironically, they both played in the last time there was a World Series Game 7, when Scherzer's Washington Nationals defeated Springer's Houston Astros."
"He got the ball in Game 1 against Houston and went five innings, giving up just two runs on five hits and three walks, while striking out seven batters. That was a game the Nationals won 5-4 in Houston and set the stage for Scherzer's next start in Game 7, also in Houston. Scherzer's line in that game looked almost identical. five innings pitched with two runs allowed on seven hits and four walks - although he was only able to record three strikeouts."
Game 7 of the World Series marks the first time a deciding Game 7 is played in Canada and the first Game 7 appearance for the Toronto Blue Jays. Championship Game 7s are rare, with only 40 occurring across 120 years of World Series play. Toronto has not hosted a championship-deciding Game 7 since the Maple Leafs won the 1964 Stanley Cup final. Veterans George Springer and Max Scherzer both hold World Series rings earned via Game 7 victories and both will start for the Blue Jays. Scherzer previously started Game 1 and Game 7 for the Nationals, delivering five-inning outings that helped secure Washington’s first championship.
