Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Blitzcrank win this 2v2 clearly — your level 1 damage with a spinning axe is higher than anything Ezreal can output, and Blitzcrank's level 2 hook threat forces Ezreal to play so far back that you can freely catch axes and build stacks.
Post-6, you continue to win if you can land a Blitzcrank hook, but Ezreal's R gives him a long-range poke tool and his E makes him harder to pin down in extended fights.

Your best trading pattern is to let Blitzcrank hook Ezreal or Thresh first, then immediately commit with your full combo — your damage on a hooked target is devastating and Thresh cannot peel fast enough to save Ezreal from a hook-into-Draven burst.
Avoid chasing Ezreal after he uses E, as repositioning into his Q poke without a hook setup wastes your axe momentum.

Slow-push the wave to create a large minion wave that forces Ezreal into a dangerous position to farm — a big wave near your side of the lane gives Blitzcrank more hook opportunities as Ezreal is forced to walk up.
Avoid letting Ezreal push you in, as farming under tower disrupts your axe-catching pattern and reduces your damage significantly.

Do not drop axes to dodge skillshots — losing your spinning axe stacks to avoid a single Ezreal Q is a net loss in most cases, and Ezreal's poke damage per Q is not high enough to justify the DPS loss from missing axes.
Prioritize axe management over dodging poke, and rely on Blitzcrank's hook to create kill windows rather than trying to all-in Ezreal without a setup.
