Blue Jays vs Dodgers Pickswise Expert Predictions

Toronto Blue Jays
Game Totals Pick
Over 8.0(-120)

Game 3 of the World Series comes to us from Dodger Stadium on Monday, as the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers are tied, 1-1. The Dodgers exploded for 11 runs in Game 1, and then the Dodgers responded in Game 2 behind a complete game gem from Yoshi Yamamoto. We now have 3 games in 3 days in LA, and I expect those games to see a lot of offense. My pick in Game 3 is the game total over 8 runs.

Let’s start with where the betting money is flowing. I’m not sure if you have noticed lately, but it seems like any time public money flows hard in one direction and Vegas doesn’t move the line, the public gets cleaned out. So where is the money for Game 3? It is looking like the money is flowing heavily to either the Blue Jays to win at +167, or the Dodgers to cover -1.5. Vegas wins if the Dodgers win but do not cover, if you are into that as a betting strategy. Also, the early money is flowing hard in the direction of the game total under, and that is what I am looking to fade.

First, both offenses are better than the pitching staffs on these teams. This could be the rare World Series where offenses lead the way. On Monday, we have Max Scherzer vs Tyler Glasnow to start the game. I have very little interest in backing Scherzer, even if his only postseason start was 5.2 innings and only 2 runs. I just do not trust him at this stage of his career, and there are a whole lot of Dodgers that have a ton of at-bats against Mad Max and who know his stuff well. As for Glasnow, he has spun two excellent postseason starts, and it would stand to reason that he would be strong again. I expect Toronto to jump on his fastball early in the count though, or otherwise work him deep into counts, which is not when Glasnow is at his best.

Both bullpens are fully rested after the off day, so we could get to those backend arms quickly. But let’s also remember that neither of these pens is very good, and again, the offenses are better than the pitching staffs. With these two lineups, there is always a chance that one of them posts a big inning, and the other team either has to match that scoring, or take a knee and send out the lesser arms, choosing to live to fight another day. Those are paths to high scores. I’ll play that angle in Game 3.

Toronto Blue Jays
A Run in the 1st Inning? Pick
Yes Run in First Inning (YRFI)(-106)

Game 1 of the World Series saw the Blue Jays load the bases in the opening inning, but no runs were scored. Game 2 saw the Dodgers strike early with a 1st inning run. YRFI bettors received plus-money odds on both of those wagers, resulting in slight profit so far. The best price in market at the time of publishing this article is -106 at FanDuel. While not plus money, those odds are still within the range of value for me. When handicapping 2 elite offenses like we have in this World Series, I am going to lean towards the YRFI in most instances. This is once again true in Game 3 as I am a fan of the -106 price and expect early offense from potentially both sides.

Max Scherzer is the scheduled starter for Toronto in Game 3. Scherzer delivered 5.2 innings of 2-run ball against the Mariners in the ALCS. Despite this, I have a hard time trusting the 41-year-old with regularity at this point in his career. The right-hander is a true competitor and will undoubtedly give his full effort, but he did issue 4 free passes and allowed a home run in that last outing. Walks hurt pitchers all the time, but this is especially true in the postseason. Look for the lethal Dodgers lineup to make it a tough opening inning for the future hall-of-famer.

Tyler Glasnow is my preferred starting pitcher for Game 3, but the Dodgers’ right-hander is still drawing a tough matchup. This Toronto lineup has impressed me all season long with their plate discipline and their high contact metrics. That combination is crucial come playoff time, as advancing runners and taking advantage of runners in scoring position is the key to advancing. Glasnow can lose command of the zone from time to time, and it would be detrimental if that was the case tonight. I see slight value on the YRFI odds for Game 3 and lean that way Monday night.
