The Los Angeles Dodgers were impressive last night in their 6-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, taking a 2-1 lead in the Fall Classic. With a win tonight, the Dodgers will have a stranglehold on the series and the chances of that happening are looking very favorable. Their bats are hot and they are expected to face the southpaw Ryan Yarbrough. Yarbrough was not impressive in the regular season, going 1-4 with a 3.56 ERA, but he is 1-0 in the postseason with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. LA is expected to send lefty Julio Urías to the hill. He has been spectacular all year. Urías is a perfect 4-0 in the postseason with a nasty ERA of 0.56 and a 0.63 WHIP. Tampa’s bats went silent once again last night, mustering just 4 hits and striking out 13 times. Against a guy like Urías, numbers like that will not cut it. The Rays usually bounce back after a loss but time may running out.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES DODGERS
