WS Game #3 - Monday

[Junior44]

Scherzer vs Glasnow............Dodgers -196/Toronto +165............Total = 8

Thoughts? Opinions?

Personally, I like the Over, big bats in both lineups plus suspect starting pitchers, but still undecided. Let's nail this one.

 

[Junior44]

Glasnow career in playoffs: 2-6 with a 4.58 ERA, but this year, in 2 starts, 0-0 with an ERA of 0.68 ERA!...Tyler Glasnow has a 1-4 record with an ERA of 5.82 and 68 strikeouts in 11 appearances versus the Blue Jays in his career.....

 

[Junior44]

Max Scherzer: 8-8 in his career in the playoffs with a 3.75 ERA, but 1-0 this year with a 3.18 ERA...........record vs the Dodgers is 8-9 record career vs the Dodgers in his career with a 2.38 ERA! In the last 2 years, he is 0-1, giving up 2 ER's in 13 IP for an ERA of 1.38 vs the Dodgers, but this year has only gone past the 6th inning once..........

 

[Junior44]

Both teams average over 5+ runs per game both at home and on the road and both bullpens are sketchy, especially the Dodgers who had a 4.27 ERA during the season with a WHIP of 1.33 (10th worst in baseball)

Personally, I think laying close to -200 on the Dodgers SU is ludicrous (especially against a good/great team) I am completely undecided on the side in this game but im either taking the Jays at +165 or the Dodgers on the runline at +105....btw, the odds for the dodgers to win the series are back up to -265 @ mybookie.com............

Current Jays hitters have a .210 batting average career vs Glasnow, with only Guerrero and Springer hitting above .286 with significant at bats and Current Dodger hitters have a .221 batting average against Scherzer with only Tommy Edman hitting decently vs him in significant at bats. Freddy Freeman has 3 career HR's of Scherzer but only hits .200. and fwiw, Ohtani is 2-6 vs him in very limited at bats!

On further thought, this looks like a dead Under IF both teams don't mash the hell outta the ball.

[Junior44]

lets get this thread going today/tonight guys...............Im' not going to do a write-up for this game as a case for BOTH sides can bee made. I'm going to put all i find in this thread and decide in the afternoon and post what I'm playing............cheers

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Bo Bichette will be in the starting lineup, playing second base against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday, according to manager John Schneider.

 

[Junior44]

The winner of game #3 will have the math on their side. Teams that have grabbed a 2-1 lead at home have prevailed in the series 29 of 48 times (60.4%), while teams doing so on the road have prevailed 31 of 41 times (75.7%).

I know there are good arguments for both sides, but everywhere I look literally everyone has the Dodgers winning tonight. Maybe absolutely everyone is right? IDK. This is my current line of thinking... I believe the only chance at the under is limited bullpen action. So.... can both starters go 6+? It's possible, but is it likely? I don't think so. 6 innings is likely the absolute limit Scherzer. Jays have hit Glassnow in the past but his current form is quite good. I think they can chase Glassnow but it will take the same approach they had in Game 1, grind, grind, grind, foul pitches, don't chase and run that pitch count up. Yamamoto was great in game 2 but the Jays didn't do themselves any favours and got away from their strength. Bichette going is a plus. Injury didn't keep him out of game 2, just a preset plan that he wasn't going to play 2 consecutive games. Unsure if that is an ongoing plan or just to start.

Honestly thinking of parlaying team totals Jays 2.5 (-190) and Dodgers 2.5 (-500) over for a combined -110 I think they both get there

 

[Junior44]

I'm definately leaning over in game 3. Also love your parlay
