While these players have been exceptional, it's important to note that the Blue Jays also have talented individuals who could impact the game. Isiah Kiner-Falefa, the third baseman for the Blue Jays, has shown great fielding skills with a perfect fielding percentage. Daulton Varsho, an outfielder, has impressed with a batting average of .500 and an OPS of 1.000.


José Berríos, the starting pitcher for the Blue Jays, has been consistent with his performances. In one of the previous games, he had an ERA of 3.60 and a WHIP of 1.20. Although not as dominant as Hudson, Berríos has the potential to challenge the Dodgers' batters.


Based on their recent performances, it is clear that the Dodgers have a strong advantage going into this upcoming game against the Blue Jays. With players like Mookie Betts leading the charge and delivering exceptional performances both defensively and offensively, it will be challenging for the Blue Jays to outshine them.


However, baseball is a game of uncertainties, and anything can happen on any given day. The Blue Jays have players like Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Daulton Varsho who can make significant contributions to their team's success.
