Toronto Blue Jays vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
The last time Shohei Ohtani pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers, he struck out 10 batters over six-plus scoreless innings while also hitting three home runs. While duplicating that performance may not be a realistic expectation, Ohtani has posted a 2.75 ERA between the regular season and postseason, with 12.4 strikeouts and fewer than two walks per nine innings, along with a 1.90 fielding independent pitching mark during the regular season. The Dodgers support Ohtani with an offense that leads the league in runs created at home, averaging nearly 5.5 runs per game, while the Blue Jays are averaging 5.6 runs per game since the All-Star Break—the best mark in baseball. Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber has struggled with home runs, posting a 3.76 ERA between the regular season and playoffs with over 1.5 home runs allowed per nine innings, an issue magnified by both teams using every available bullpen arm in Monday’s 18-inning marathon.
Picks: Dodgers Run Line -1.5 (+115) and Under 8 Runs (Greg’s Handicap: Dodgers -1.5 -103, Total 7.7)
