The Los Angeles Dodgers got off to a rough start ahead of Game 6 of the World Series as their plane was reportedly delayed for over two hours due to mechanical issues, according to the Orange County Register’s Bill Plunkett.
LA needs to win two games in a row on the road, and the logistical delay certainly doesn’t help make the tall task any easier.

The Dodgers know that they have an uphill battle, but in the four World Series matchups of one LCS going seven games and the other ending in a sweep, all have gone to the team that went the distance. The Dodgers swept the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS, and the Blue Jays went seven against the Seattle Mariners.
Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be on the mound on Friday coming off consecutive complete game outings for the defending champions. In those two outings, he has gone 18 innings, allowed just two earned runs and one walk, and struck out 15 batters.
Although Los Angeles can have faith in their right-hander, the offense has been the biggest issue at hand, especially since the 18-inning Game 3 of the World Series. They have produced just three runs in their last two contests and will need a little more offense if they want to extend their season.
