B365 @ -130. Dodger Stadium is a tough place to pitch as an opponent, especially when you have a 6.45 road ERA. Chris Bassitt has that test tonight, and should struggle against a Dodgers lineup that features six left handed bats.
The Dodgers were good to us on Friday, and I simply think the Blue Jays are overrated (and maybe the Coors Field hangover) -- much as I thoroughly love the City of Toronto. And really all of Canada. And poutine. My ideal WS matchup as a fan (if Cubs not in it, and sadly they won't be) would be Padres-Blue Jays. TV ratings would crater, but I don't care. And I'll probably play San Diego again, too, on Saturday even though bit us Friday. Toronto starter Chris Bassitt has a 6.45 ERA on the road.
