Braves/Dodgers under 8.5 (-115), 3 units- Fried has looked solid in the postseason and the Dodgers typically struggle against left handed pitching. They do mash right handers so I will be looking at team totals among other things in the games to come. We saw Atlanta's offense struggle when they ran into good pitching against Cincinnati. This sets up as a low scoring game and I feel better about this total then I do picking a side. GL

Rays/Dodgers over 7.5 (-110), 2 units
The above numbers include all of my future bets except for the Rays ticket to win the World Series which is still pending. I think the Rays have the right ingredients to pull the upset. I don’t trust either of tonight’s starters which is why I took the over. But I do trust Tampa’s pen much more then LA’s. I am hoping that is the difference in the series. The Dodgers absolutely have the better lineup and are tough against righties. The problem for LA is they aren’t going to have any easy matchups. Last series they got to face multiple starters who simply aren’t great pitchers. This series they get Glasnow, Snell and Morton twice more then likely if it goes all seven. I’m not sure how successful LA will be over the course of seven games against those guys.
As always, good luck to everyone. This hasn’t been the ideal year on or off the field, but this matchup should be enjoyable to watch.

If Tampa wins game 3, that might be the time to hedge my World Series future on the Rays and put a couple units on the Dodgers. Right now the series price is where it was when the series started. If Tampa beats Buehler, they will be brimming with confidence and the odds will adjust accordingly. I will cross the potential bridge if Tampa gets it done in game 3. Be back tomorrow with hopefully my third straight winner in the World Series.

Rays/Dodgers under 7.5 (-110), 3 units- I trust these two starters more then any other starter on either of their teams. Morton proved himself again in a big spot when he defeated Houston in game 7 of the ALCS. Buehler should have success against a limited Rays lineup. Also, both bullpens will benefit from a rare day off in this year's playoffs. GL.

Rays/Dodgers under 8 (+100), 3 units
Let’s try this again. That was a brutal beat last night. Two out solo home run in the bottom of the ninth is as bad as it gets. Time to get back on the winning end of things. I don’t like the Dodgers against lefties and there’s no reason for me to love the Rays lineup after last night. GL
