It's only fitting that Gausman will take the mound with a World Series championship in sight. With the Blue Jays up 3-2 in the series, Gausman takes the ball at home Friday in front of what will almost certainly be a deafening Toronto crowd. With a win, Gausman can etch himself into Blue Jays lore as one of the greatest signings the team ever made.

If you don’t have cable, you’ll need a live TV streaming service to stream the World Series for free. One option we love is DIRECTV, which comes with a five-day free trial and starts at $49.99/month for genre packs, with plenty of subscription options and genre packs that include FOX.
