Dodgers vs Yankees MLB Betting Pick and Prediction for 10/30/2024

 

For tonight MLB Pick we look at game 5 of the World Series between the Dodgers and the Yankees. The Dodgers began the series strong and are currently leading he series 3-1. However, can the New York Yankees turn thing around on their home territory tonight? Here is my take on what will happen with my Dodgers vs Yankees MLB Betting Pick, predictions and analysis.

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 (3-1) have secured victories in four of their initial seven playoff road games and are just one win away from clinching their seventh World Series title. In a recent match, Los Angeles first baseman Freddie Freeman made history by becoming the first player in Major League Baseball to hit a home run in six consecutive World Series games. While this is a great achievement, the Dodgers did not do as well suffering an 11-4 defeat.

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.
