Los Angeles Dodgers vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
The Dodgers are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they don’t string losses together, and Yamamoto has been money this season. Yamamoto had an 0.99 WHIP on the season and through 19.2 postseason innings, he’s allowed 13 hits and 4 earned runs. In 105.2 road innings, Yamamoto has a 2.13 ERA and .168 allowed batting average, numbers that are better than what he’s done at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers haven’t lost two straight games in these playoffs, so I get it.
However, the Blue Jays continue to swing a hot bat, hit good pitching and don’t panic when they get down in the scoreboard. Gausman is also the veteran who stood tall when needed, and that includes allowing 10 hits and 4 runs in 18 postseason innings. Gausman has allowed 39 hits and 14 runs in his last 50.1 innings overall. As great as Yamamoto has been, we sometimes forget he’s just in his second season, so who knows how he’ll handle the pressure of a moment this big.
The Blue Jays are in such a zone offensively, I can’t turn down the plus money in game 2.
