All Cards Are on the SkyDome Table : Game 6: There will be no more secrets when the A’s Moore tries to prevent Guzman from leading the Blue Jays to their first pennant.

There are no mysteries left after five games between the Blue Jays and Athletics, no statistic that hasn’t been examined and re-examined, no pitching pattern that hasn’t been charted.

Toronto will try for the second time today to clinch its first American League pennant, and Oakland will attempt to even the playoff series at three games apiece.

Sticking with a three-man rotation despite dubious results, the Blue Jays are gambling that right-hander Juan Guzman’s second start will be as successful as his first, when he gave up two runs over six innings and was the winner of Toronto’s 7-5 victory at Oakland in Game 3.

And as the A’s try to force a seventh game Thursday after a 6-2 victory Monday that sent this series back here, they are hoping Mike Moore has better luck his second time around than in Game 2, which he lost, 3-1.

“We know what pitches (Moore) throws and they know what Guzzie throws,” Blue Jay right fielder Joe Carter said. “It’s a matter of who executes best. If (Moore) hits his spots, he can be tough. If he misses, we can make it tough for them. It’s a situation where we feel confident. Having Guzzie on the mound is very uplifting and promising.”

Guzman won on three days’ rest the only time he tried it during the season and expects no difficulty this time.

“For me, it’s no problem,” he said. “I always have my good stuff. I could pitch on two days’ rest. . . .

“I didn’t want to pitch again, except maybe in Game 1 or 2 of the World Series. Now I’ve just go to go out and do my best.”

The A’s were impressed by Guzman on Saturday.

“He’s a power pitcher, and he’s going to come at you,” said catcher Terry Steinbach, who was two for two with a walk against Guzman.

“He’s got a very, very good fastball and a good breaking ball and changeup. He likes to come at you, and I don’t anticipate anything different when he’s pitching in front of his home crowd in this kind of situation.”

No matter the situation Moore is in, he does not reveal his emotions. He can understand how others, such as teammate Dave Stewart, play up the pressure they feel and use it as a motivating force, but Moore won’t acknowledge pressure.

“Pressure is self-inflicted,” he said. “You put pressure on yourself.

“If I mentally and physically do the work I have to do to pitch in a ballgame, I’m not saying I’m going to win, but you can go out and do your best. There’s nothing else I can do. Then there’s no pressure.”

Moore, who gave up a home run to Kelly Gruber among the three runs he yielded to the Blue Jays on Saturday, said that facing a team twice in a short span was a little tougher.

“It comes down to they know you and you know them and who executes better,” he said, echoing Carter’s sentiment.

Winning one more game will put the Blue Jays into the World Series. Losing today--or losing a seventh game--might stamp them as irredeemable losers.

Carter, though, was having none of that.

“We feel really good,” he said. “We said before (going to Oakland) we would have been happy to get two out of three. We had a chance for three, and three would have been sweet, but it didn’t happen.

“The last one will be the toughest one, but there’s going to be 51,000 screaming fans to get us pumped up and we can do it for them.”
