I’m going to take the Dodgers to rebound from their game 1 loss, currently paying $1.60 to win here.
Game 1 was much closer than the final scoreline would suggest and it was only a last-inning flurry that got Atlanta over the line.
Ace Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw returns to the mound here and I’d expect him to build off his strong recent form.
Ian Anderson hasn’t been as consistent for Atlanta and should struggle against a very good Dodgers batting lineup.
The Dodgers were much better than Atlanta throughout the season, winning 8 more games and securing a much better run differential.
Having lost game 1, I have to think they’ll also be the more motivated team here.
If they leave it all out on the field, I’d expect them to level the series.
I’ve had success backing Tampa in the first two games and I see no reason to deviate from that here.
Despite two convincing wins to start out, the odds have actually shifted in their favour, with both sides equally priced at $1.92.
I think they’ve got the edge in the pitching matchup here, with Ryan Yarbrough going up against the inexperienced Urquidy.
This matchup should prove crucial here as I’d expect Tampa’s hitters to really get after Urquidy.
Despite their form in recent seasons, Houston just hasn’t been all that good in 2019.
A negative win/loss record and neutral run differential suggest that they’re lucky to even get in the playoffs.
Compare this to a Tampa side that was comfortably best in the American League this season and it’s a clear mismatch.
As long as Tampa can avoid complacency, I think they’re great value here at even money.
