Here are the MLB odds from William Hill and trends for Rays vs. Dodgers: Dodgers vs. Rays money line: Dodgers -160, Rays +150 Dodgers vs. Rays over-under: 8 runs Dodgers vs. Rays spread: Dodgers -1.5 LAD: The Dodgers are 15-5 in the last 20 games TB: The Rays are 9-6 in the last 15 games Why you should back the Dodgers The Dodgers have a tremendous lineup, leading MLB in runs scored and home runs during the regular season, and that is always an advantage for Los Angeles. In Game 5, though, Dave Roberts can also take solace in having Kershaw on the hill. Kershaw’s playoff shakiness is well-documented in a historical sense, but the future Hall of Fame left-hander boasts a 2.88 ERA in four postseason outings in 2020. That includes a stellar performance in Game 1, with Kershaw navigating six innings while allowing only one run with eight strikeouts. The Dodgers will hope to rekindle that success again in this matchup, and Kershaw was also dominant in the regular season, posting a 2.16 ERA in ten starts. Why you should back the Rays Though the Rays lost Game 1 with the same pitching matchup, Tampa Bay can be confident with Glasnow on the mound. The talented hurler boasts a 3.32 ERA since joining the Rays in 2018, and he is fully capable of spinning a gem at any moment. In fact, Glasnow is the type of pitcher that could take pressure off everyone else, with a blistering 14.28 strikeouts per nine innings during the regular season. Behind him, the Rays can rely on a tremendous bullpen and, overall, Tampa Bay’s run prevention is elite due to the combination of pitching and high-end defense. Kevin Cash deploys a bullpen that led MLB in wins above replacement during the regular season, posting top-three marks in ERA (3.37) and walk rate (2.9 per nine innings) when compared to other bullpens around the league. How to make Dodgers vs. Rays picks The SDQL Gurus are leaning over on the total and they’ve also found an alarming 13-0 betting trend they believe makes one side of the money line a huge value.
