Rotation # 909
Dodgers +125 over Yankees (win)
FlahertyCole
It’s impossible to predict which team will walk a batter or two before a huge home run. The Yankees won last night to stay alive. No team has ever won the World Series when facing a 3-0 deficit. The Yankees’ uphill battle is going to be tough. It doesn’t matter who wins tonight. What matters is the value for the Dodgers to get +125 with their ace on the mound, which is too good to pass up. Ace vs Ace will be a fantastic pitching matchup, but Gerrit Cole being -150 is a massive overvalue. The Dodgers were -125 in game one with these two starters, and they won. The Yankees are huge favorites because of the scenario. The Dodgers should have taken last night more seriously, but they pitched Ben Casparius and then didn’t use their strong bullpen arms. Look for LA to return to dominant form to hoist the Commissioner’s Trophy. Take the Dodgers.
