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

Friday MLB Pick
With the World Series tied at 1 apiece, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays will send two flamethrowers to the hill tonight, and their numbers have been scary. Tampa will give the nod to Charlie Morton. He is 3-0 this postseason with an ERA of just 0.57 and a 0.96 WHIP. Are you kidding me? LA will have Walker Buehler toeing the rubber. Buehler is 1-0 in the postseason with a nasty ERA of 1.89 and a 1.37 WHIP. How do you not consider the under in this one?
TONIGHT’S PICK: UNDER 7.5
Thursday NFL Pick
Two NFC East rivals will meet tonight when the Philadelphia Eagles play host to the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field. Let’s face it, the NFC East is pathetic and so are the Giants and Eagles. With that said, Philadelphia has owned New York, winning the last 7 meetings and have not lost to them at home since 2013. The Eagles’ Carson Wentz had his way with the Giants last year, picking them apart for 614 yards in their two meetings. The Giants are coming off a win over the lowly Washington Football Team but just barely eking it out, 20-19, so don’t get too excited.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES M/L
Wednesday MLB Pick
Clayton Kershaw pitched a gem last night and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 8-3 to take Game 1 in the World Series. The Rays’ bats need to start producing and they will have a golden opportunity to do just that tonight. Tony Gonsolin is the probable starter for LA. Gonsolin has been getting lit up this postseason, going 0-1 with a bloated ERA of 9.95 and a 1.74 WHIP. Dave Roberts has eluded that this will probably be a bullpen game so expect Gonsolin to be on a short leash. Tampa will counter with the lefty Blake Snell. Snell, who won the 2018 AL Cy Young, has gone 2-2 this postseason with a 3.20 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP. One thing the Rays are is resilient and after a loss they are 16-5 in their last 21. Expect them to bounce back tonight and knot up the series.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY RAYS
Tuesday MLB Pick
Clayton Kershaw is slated to get the nod tonight for the Dodgers when Los Angeles and Tampa kick off the Fall Classic in Arlington. Kershaw has silenced some of critics who say he folds in the postseason. This postseason he is 2-1 with a 3.32 ERA and is healthy. That doesn’t bode well for the Tampa Bay Rays. Tyler Glasnow is expected to take the rubber tonight for Tampa. Glasnow, who is 2-1 this postseason with a 4.66 ERA, admitted he is a little overwhelmed facing Kershaw so nerves could be a factor for the Rays’ starter. LA launched 16 homers in the NLCS and Cody Bellinger, Corey Seager and Mookie Betts are hot. Consider the Dodgers.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will face Atlanta’s young flamethrower Ian Anderson tonight in a “winner take all” Game 7 of the NLCS. Baseball is a streaky sport and the Dodgers are streaking. Anderson took care of business the last time he faced the Dodgers but their bats were cold and now they are not.
