The Dodgers have generally responded well to adversity this season and I’m backing them to do the same here.
After a tough loss in game 4, I think they’re good value to right the ship and win this very pivotal game 5.
I think they’ve definitely got an edge in the pitching matchup, with Clayton Kershaw going up against Tyler Glasnow.
Kershaw has been one of the best pitchers in the majors in recent seasons and there are few men you’d rather have pitching here.
While his play hasn’t been great throughout these playoffs, he looks to finally be getting back to full health and had an excellent outing in game 1.
Tyler Glasnow is definitely a solid pitcher at this level, but he enters this game in some horrendous form.
He has really struggled in his last few starts and I’m not sure how he turns that around against an in-form Dodgers batting lineup.
The Dodgers appear to have talent advantages across the field and I think a solid outing from Kershaw gets them this much-needed win.
