This World Series
matchup, will take place at Yankee Stadium giving the Yankees the home
advantage. However, will this be enough to come back from a 2-game deficit? According
to Pay Per Head
data, they most bookies seem to think so. Or at least for tonight’s game as
they are a -136 money line favorite
On Wednesday, the
Dodgers will send twenty-nine-year-old right-handed pitcher Jack Flaherty
(13-7, 3.17 ERA) to the mound. In the series opener, Flaherty pitched 5.1
innings, allowing two runs and striking out six batters, contributing to a 6-3
victory at home.
In Game Five, New
York manager Aaron Boone will turn to Gerrit Cole (8-5, 3.41 ERA), the 2023
American League Cy Young Award winner. The Yankees have emerged victorious in
three of Cole’s first four postseason starts during which he has allowed eight
runs (seven earned) over more than 22 innings pitched
Why the Los Angeles Dodgers will Win
The Dodgers and baseball
betting fans are counting on Flaherty to provide length following a bullpen
game in Game 4. As they approach Tuesday's matchup, their bullpen boasts a 3.16
ERA during this postseason, an improvement from their regular season ERA of
3.53. In contrast, the Yankees' bullpen has excelled this postseason with a
2.70 ERA, compared to a 3.62 ERA in the regular season.
Given that the
Dodgers utilized several of their less experienced bullpen pitchers in Game 4,
and with the Yankees starting the 2024 postseason leader in innings pitched,
Game 5 is anticipated to be a classic pitchers' duel, likely resulting in both
teams' high-powered offenses being somewhat subdued.
Why the New York Yankees will Win
According to bookie software data,
the New York Yankees have triumphed in four of their first six playoff home
games. Now, they are aiming to be the first team to overcome a 3-0 deficit in
the World Series. In Game Four, shortstop Anthony Volpe hit a grand slam in the
third inning, giving New York a 5-2 lead. Second baseman Gleyber Torres
followed with a three-run homer in the eighth inning, securing the win for the
Yankees.
The Yankees' offense
aims to provide improved run support for Cole compared to their previous loss
in Game 1, where they fell 6-3 after 10 innings. Despite averaging nearly five
runs per game this season, the highest in the American League, the team has struggled,
scoring three runs or fewer in each of their initial three games.
Cole faces the
challenge of containing a Dodgers lineup that leads the league in road runs per
game, averaging close to 5.6 runs across both the regular season and
postseason. As they approach Game 5, the Dodgers have already hit 27 home runs
in their first 15 postseason games.
