Blue Jays vs Dodgers World Series Game 5 Preview, Prediction, Starting Lineups
Why The Blue Jays Can Win
The Blue Jays easily could have taken the letdown of losing an 18-inning game into Tuesday's game, but that wasn't the case. Toronto posted its third 4+ run inning of the World Series and evened the series at two games all.
That's really all this series has boiled down to. The Blue Jays can have a huge inning — and it caught every single Dodgers starter except Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
I'd attribute that to the Blue Jays' approach. I've said it a million times, but they don't strike out! They struck out just six times versus Shohei Ohtani, five times versus Tyler Glasnow, and four times against Blake Snell so far in this series. Even in the biggest moments, the Jays' approach is the same. They don't chase; they work counts and will make these strikeout-heavy Dodgers arms work.
Toronto tallied eight hits off Snell in Game 1, while walking three times. He's nasty, but the best team in the American League seemed to have all the answers to his attack.
Opposing Snell is rookie Trey Yesavage, who allowed two runs in four innings in Game 1. Look, it would be impossible for Yesavage to replicate the dominance he showed in his first postseason outing against the Yankees. Surely the Jays would be fine with another four or five innings and two runs from their rookie against a dominant lineup on the road.
Why The Dodgers Can Win
What to make of Snell? I just think this is the worst possible matchup for him. He still wants to hunt strikeouts and has issues throwing strikes. That's been the story of Snell's career. That, coupled with facing a patient offense, could lead to a shorter outing.
Snell posted a 2.35 ERA and a 2.69 FIP through 11 regular-season outings with 10.57 K/9 and a 3.82 BB/9. There's no doubting the brilliance in Snell's left arm, but I have a tough time seeing him correct the wrongs from Game 1.
After reaching base eight times on Monday, Ohtani reached base just once and went 0-3 on Tuesday. Ohtani still has a 1.182 OPS in the World Series. He's one of three Dodgers hitters with an OPS better than .800 — Teoscar Hernandez is at .859, and Freddie Freeman is at .810. That's a bit troubling for a lineup with the talent the Dodgers lineup has.
Will Smith and Mookie Betts haven't done much, and the bottom of the order is an absolute trainwreck. That wasn't the case for the Dodgers in last year's World Series, but the 7-8-9 hitters have an OPS below .700. That just isn't good enough to beat a Blue Jays lineup with nearly an entire lineup with players having an OPS above .800.
How To Make Blue Jays vs Dodgers Picks For World Series Game 5
Why are the Dodgers -205 here? I get the Dodgers are the Dodgers and they're at home, but this series is much closer than that number says.
For one, the home-field advantage in LA isn't the same as in Toronto. Plus, the Blue Jays flat-out have the better offense — and the pitching matchup favors the Dodgers, but it's not big enough to warrant a -205 price.
I just can't see the Blue Jays catching +170 on the ML and not grab it. This team is terrific, and they continue to have big innings to cause problems for the Dodgers' starters.
