LA is up 3 games to 2 and a win today means a World Series title. Tampa bay knows that as well as does their starting pitcher Blake Snell. He has pitched in 5 postseason games and has a total of 24.1 innings under his belt allowing 9 runs and 18 hits including 5 HR's of which 3 were in 1 game against the Yanks in his only decision which was a 9-3 loss. The Rays have won 2 of the 3 games he started after that as he didn't allow more than 2 runs and just 11 hits in the 3 following games and only 2 more HR's. In his last 2 starts he gave up just 5 hits total and 4 runs with 13 strikeouts. his problem is his pitch count which has been at least 82 pitches even though he hasn't gone more than 5.2 innings in any postseason game. He has held LA in check pretty good as they are batting just 0.51 off him getting just 7 hits off him and Betts has all 7. The Rays are 9-5 in his last 14 starts and allowed 2 runs or less in 10 of them while scoring at least 3 runs in 8 of their last 11. Gonsolin pitched in 3 postseason games starting 2 of them pitching 7.2 innings and giving up 8 runs and 6 hits. In his 2 starts LA lost both of them as he pitched 5.2 innings allowing 6 runs and 1 HR in each appearance. He pitched 1 game against the Rays and LA lost 6-4. With the series on the line for Tampa Bay they have their ace going which is probably the most important game he might have ever pitched. The Rays with their ace going seems like the play here so that's what I'm playing. The Rays are 58-23 in their last 81 games against righties and 14-6 in their last 29 games as a dog. LA is 3-7 in their last 10 World series games. Take Tampa Bay |

The winner of this game takes a 3-2 leas and the momentum in this series. Personally there is nobody Id rather have pitching for me than Kershaw. In his last start he pitched 6 innings and gave up just 1 run and 2 hits. Besides having him, you get a Dodger club that is also hot. They are 14-2 in their last 16 interleague games against righties, 43-15 in their last 58 games overall and 20-7 in their last 27 interleague games overall and to top it off are 66-24 in their last 90 games against righties. Glasnow hasn't been effective in 3 of his last 4 starts as he allowed at least 4 runs in the 3 games. He gave up 14 runs and 14 hits in 15.1 innings and 2 of those games were his last 2. Take Los Angeles |

LA has a chance to take complete control of the Series with a win today. It would put them up 3-1 and almost an impossible position for the Rays to get back from. The Rays aren't playing very well now having lost 5 of their last 7 games scoring no more than 4 runs in any of the 7 games. Yarbrough pitches and he is 1-4 with a 3.56 ERA while losing 3 of his games away from home. He hasn't pitched tat bad but the Rays have lost 3 of his last 5 starts and he just went 2/3 of an inning in his last game on October 20th. In the Playoffs he's pitched 10.2 innings and allowed 4 runs and 11 hits including 3 HR's. LA has been on a roll since falling behind 3-1 in their series with the Braves and have won 5 of their last 6 scoring less than 4 runs in just 1 game. Urias pitches with a 4-0 record including 1-0 in the postseason where he pitched 16 innings and giving up just 1 run and 7 hits with 16 strikeouts and 3 walks. The Dodgers are the hotter team and Urias is pitching well. Look for LA to try and put this series out of reach with a win today. Take Los Angeles |

The Rays haven't played well the last week or so of the playoffs. They took 3-0 leas over the Astros and ended up having to win the 7th game to advance and lost to Kershaw in the 1st game of the World Series. The Dodgers were down 3-1 against Atlanta and then won the next 3 to get to play the Rays in the Series and proceeded to win the 1st game behind Kershaw. Blake goes for the Rays and has allowed 2 runs or less in 5 of his last 7 starts and has struck out 45 batters over his last 41 innings but has to be careful of his pitch count as he also walked 10. Gonsolin lasted just 2 innings in his last start allowing 2 runs and 2 hits with a HR and 3 walks. In his 2 prior games he gave up 9 runs and 10 hits in 10.1 innings and hasn't pitched through the 5th inning in 4 of his last 6 starts. The Rays are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games as a dog and 57-22 ATS in their last 79 against righties. Take Tampa Bay |

Today's game decides who represents the AL in the World Series as they are tied at 3 games apiece. Mccullers gets the call for Houston and they haven't don well when he pitches. He hasn't won a game since August 29th and that was 7 starts ago. Since then he is 0-2 including a loss in the playoffs and Houston lost 5 of his last 6 starts. In his last 2 starts which were in the playoffs, he gave up 9 runs [5 earned] and 12 hits in 11 total innings. he allowed at least 3 runs in 4 of his last 6 starts and in 3 of them couldn't get past the 4th inning. Morton goes for the Rays and in his last 10 starts allowed no more than 3 runs as the Rays have won 7 of his last 9 starts. In both his post season starts he pitched 10 total innings allowing just 1 run and 9 hits. Over his last 4 starts he struck out 25 batters and walked just 6. The Rays are 7-3 in their last 10 playoff games as a favorite, 56-22 in their last 78 games against righties and 42-17 in their last 59 games overall. Take Tampa Bay |

After jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the series. the Rays have let Houston back in and now are within 1 game of tying the series up at 3 games apiece. The last game they won was when Snell was pitching against Valdez the same pitcher going today. The Rays have been better than most teams throughout the season and Snell has led the Rays to wins in 4 of his last 6 starts by allowing 1 run or less in those 4 games. Valdez has also pitched well allowing 2 runs or less in his last 5 starts but had allowed 20 runs and 27 hits in his previous 4 starts over 26 innings. They are too good a team to drop another game with 1 of their best pitchers going for them. Look for the Rays to close out this series with a much needed win and finally move on to the World Series.

LA looks to even the series at 2 games each as they play Atlanta in game 5. They Exploded for 11 runs in the 1st inning yesterday to end that game earlier than expected. They have won 6 of 8 postseason games with Kershaw winning 2 as he pitched 14 innings allowing 3 runs and 9 hits with 19 strikeouts 1 walk and 2 HR's both in last game. LA won 10 of his last 11 starts and he hasn't allowed more than 3 runs except in 1 game of those 11 starts. Overall LA is 16-4 in their last 20 games and 6-2 in both their last 8 playoff games and their last 8 games as a playoff favorite. They are also 63-23 in their last 86 games vs righties and 42-16 in their last 58 games following a win. Atlanta has played excellent baseball winning 7 of their last 10 which included winning their first 7 playoff games until yesterday loss to LA. in their previous 13 games they were just 6-7 scoring 3 runs or less in 8 of those games. Wilson started 2 games in 6 appearances and is 1-0 with a 4.02 ERA. Being down 2 games to 1, I don't think nobody needs to tell LA how important 2-2 in compared to 3-1 in a 7 game series so LA will be as ready as they can. I don't like laying a price this big but I have to make and exception in this case. Take Los Angeles |

These 2 teams just might be the best 2 teams left in the playoffs. Atlanta is 10-3 in their last 13 including 5 straight wins in the playoffs with 4 shutouts in 4 of the 5 wins. LA has won 10 of 11 and 5 straight in the playoffs. Fried goes for the Braves with a 7-0 record and a 2.25 ERA ad Atlanta has won 12 of his 13 starts as allowed more than 3 runs in a game just once all year and gave up just 2 HR's. Buehler started only 8 games and is 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA but only once in his last 5 games has lasted more than 4 innings and like Fried, LA lost just 1 of hi starts. His ERA away from Dodger Stadium is 6.19 as he allowed 15 runs and 16 hits in just 16 innings. In his last 2 away games he gave up 10 runs and 10 hits in only 7-1 innings. Atlanta is 16-5 in their last 21 games vs teams with winning records, 5-0 in their last 5 against righties and 13-4 in their last 17 against the NL West. And today I can get that team as dog.

This game decides who wins the series with both teams winning 2 games each. The 1 thing that seems consistent for NY is that when Cole pitches they win. There a 2week span back in mid August that he lost his 3 games and NY lost 4 of his starts. but in 3 of those games NY scored 3 runs or less in all 4 and 2 runs or less in 3 of them. since then Cole has won 4 straight decisions and NY won all 5 of his starts including both his post season games. The Rays had a chance to close it out yesterday but scored just 1 run and has let NY back in and given them the momentum. Glasnow faced NY in one game in this series and even though the Rays won, he didn't have a good game. He pitched 5 innings allowing 4 runs and 3 hits including 2 HR's which he has done in his last 3 games. Cole has been 1 of the best pitchers in MLB the last few years and with this deciding game in a win or go home situation I have to go with Cole as even though the Rays have been winning with Glasnow he hasn't been as sharp in his last few starts allowing at least 2 HR's in 4 of his last 5 games while the Rays had to score at least 7 runs to win his last 3 starts. I have to go with Cole and NY in this big game. Take New York |

Tampa Bay clinches their division with a win today over NY. They have won 8 of their last 9 games and scored at least 5 runs in 6 of the wins. Their only loss to NY was against Cole and they hit him getting 3 runs and 6 hits and in their 4 playoff wins scored at least 7 runs in 3 of them while matching the big NY bats. NY is scoring runs but they need to as they allowed 25 runs in 3 of their last 4 games and are just 4-6 in their last 10 games. Thompson has 1 start in 25 appearances and is 1-2 with a 4.44 ERA. He is 1-1 vs NY but that loss was at NY while he has given up just 4 HR's all year and that is what has kept NY scoring with Stanton hitting 6 since his return. Tampa has also got their share with 7 HR's in their last 2 games. Montgomery is 2-3 with a 5.11 ERA while losing his last 2 decisions and NY losing 4 of his last 6 starts. In his 1 game against the Rays he didn't make it out of the 1st inning giving up 4 runs and 5 hits including 2 HR's.

In their last 14 games, they scored 4 runs or less in 10 of them. Snell will pitch and in all 11 of his starts, never pitched a full 6 innings. He is 1-2 since the end of August and throws a lot of pitches because he walks a lot of batters. Over his last 4 starts covering 21.1 innings, he walked 9 batters and allowed 3 walks and 2 HR's in his last game which he lost.

LA has won it all including best record and home field for the playoffs so if it was up to me that is what is important. well rested and healthy players entering the playoffs.

Urias is 3-0 in 10 starts where in half of them he pitched 5 innings or less. He is 1-0 away with a 4.67 ERA as 6 of his 10 starts were at home. Oakland is one of the elite teams in the AL capable of beating anyone but besides their stellar record are just 8-6 over their last 14 games. This series with LA will be a sign for them to know how they play against the best so they will be playing some tough baseball.

09-08-20 | Yankees v. Blue Jays -114 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
REASONS FOR 9* PLAY We had the Jays yesterday and to emphasize how bad NY is playing all we have to do as look at the 10 run 6th inning the Jays had as NY blew a 6-2 lead. This is what I stated yesterday: "NY is 5-13 in their last 18 games and find themselves in 3rd place in the AL East. They are without Stanton and Judge their 2 power hitters which won't make it easier for them to turn things around. They are 2-6 in their last 8 games as a dog and 2-9 in their last 11 road games." The changes to that are as follows: now they are 5-14 in their last 19 games-- They are 2-7 in their last 9 as a dog and 2-10 in their last 12 on the road. Happ goes for NY with a 1-1 record and a 4.68 ERA. He was hammered in his last start allowing 4 runs and 8 hits in just 5 innings.

REASONS FOR THE HOWLIN' DOG NY has had all kinds of problems recently in both scoring and winning. They have lost 6 of their last 8 games while scoring 3 runs or less in 4 of those losses.

He won 2 of his 3 games at night where his ERA is 2.89 and overall he has a 1.11 WHIP. Cleveland has lost 4 of his starts but 3 were road games while in his 2 home starts he allowed 3 runs or less in both. This looks like a game that Cleveland has a clear edge. Take Cleveland |

He is 3-1 with a 3.86 ERA and was great in his last start where he gave up just a run and 6 hits with 11K's and no walks. It's not like the Nats can't hit as they are 2nd in MLB in hitting with a .266 average. The Phillies have a team batting average of .100 off him. Scherzer is 11-3 with a 2.62 ERA lifetime against them which includes a 5-0 record and a 2.42 at Philadelphia.

They play Baltimore who are just 7-13 at home and are 4-11 in their last 15 games.
