I'm looking at the total over, and the way I get there is with Max Scherzer giving up his traditional two runs and Shohei Ohtani giving up three, and then the bullpen does the rest. The Blue Jays hitters have beaten up the Dodgers bullpen. With Yoshi Yamamoto going yesterday, that's good news for the Blue Jays. During the postseason this year, they've hit an MLB high 27 home runs, 95 RBIs, and batted .282. When the Dodger pitchers are dominating the game, it stays under, but I don't see it that way here. If you like the Dodgers you play the under, and if you like the Blue Jays, you play the over, and I like the Blue Jays. Over is the play.
I've got to take the Blue Jays in this do-or-die situation for the World Series because they've earned it with their bats all season and especially the postseason. The Dodgers have hit only .230 in the postseason compared to the Blue Jays .282. The Dodgers got here because Milwaukee was slumping and not hitting the ball. But other than Yoshi Yamamoto, the Blue Jays have handled the Dodgers pitching. Yamamoto has two wins, and the Dodgers have an 18-inning win; the Blue Jays have dominated the rest. Shohei Ohtani gave up four runs in a 6-2 loss, and I don't expect him to last very long in this game. Max Scherzer in a Game 7, just like 2019 with the Nationals. Toronto to win.
Just when it looked like the Blue Jays were about to put the Dodgers on the ropes in 9th inning last night came a bang-bang double play to end the game and force a Game Seven tonight. But LA is still not doing much at the plate, only four hits last night, while the Jays have scored nine more runs in the World Series; their three wins are by a combined 23-7. Max Scherzer wants the ball and can give John Schneider four or five innings, which is all Dave Roberts likely gets for whomever starts for him (Shohei Ohtani?). In the end, the Dodger bullpen is going to have to feature, and that's been LA's Achilles heel. Play Blue Jays on Money Line
