Blue Jays vs Dodgers Game 5 predictions

Who will win Blue Jays vs Dodgers Game 5

This has been a back-and-forth series, and I’m anticipating it continuing with the Dodgers rallying behind a strong showing from veteran Blake Snell. On the flip side, the Los Angeles lineup is set to tee off on struggling Toronto rookie Trey Yesavage in his first career postseason road start.

Blue Jays vs Dodgers best bet

Dodgers -1.5 run line (+100)

Toronto Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage hasn’t been sharp across his past three postseason starts with a 5.93 ERA, and he’s walked nine batters across just 13 2/3 innings.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will also be facing him for the second time in the series, and Yesavage will be pitching on the road for the first time during the playoffs.

While Los Angeles lefty Blake Snell was touched up for the first time in four playoff starts in Game 1, he did navigate the Toronto lineup through five innings and held the Blue Jays to two runs.

Obviously, Toronto blew the doors open with the nine-run sixth inning in the series opener, with three more being charged to the veteran southpaw.

Still, I’m just anticipating Snell turning in another solid outing at Dodger Stadium, where he posted a 1.17 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 3.44 xFIP while holding opposing hitters to a minuscule .188 batting average and .257 wOBA during the regular season.

Additionally, Los Angeles has a splash of statistical correction coming at the dish. The Dodgers have a solid 39.7% hard-hit rate through four games, but just a .239 BABIP. For comparison, Toronto sports 33.3% and .300 marks, respectively.

Blue Jays vs Dodgers Game 5 same-game parlay (SGP)

There hasn’t been a shortage of offense during this series, and it isn’t surprising given these are two elite and deep lineups. As discussed, I’m expecting Yesavage to have some struggles on the mound, and there have already been 40 runs through the first four games.

I also expect the Blue Jays to chip in enough to send this total Over the number.

Toronto star Bo Bichette has left his mark on the series with timely hitting, going 4-for-11 at the dish, and he posted an excellent .308 batting average against lefties during the regular season.
