This is where numbers meet nuance. We trim the Five-Slash into three playoff signals: BB/K (discipline), ISO (power), and BWR (BaseWinner Runs Created).
Metrics are drawn from rolling samples: last 300 plate appearances for walk rate (BB%), last 150 for strikeout rate (K%), and last 250 for isolated power (ISO) β a blend that captures form and stability.
Below are Dodgers vs Blue Jays with Top 3 (green π) and Bottom 3 (red β¬οΈ) highlights across all 18 starters versus left-handed pitching.

Final thoughts: vs LHP, LAβs contact-damage profile shows up. If the game tilts into lefty leverage, Dodgersβ ISO/BWR tends to convert leverage into runs while Toronto leans on patience.
