The Blue Jays are on win away from a World Series championship as the series shifts back to Toronto for Game 6 on Friday night.
The Dodgers have scored just three runs in the last two games, with the Blue Jays putting up six in each victory.
Runs might be hard to come by in Game 6, though, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound for the Dodgers against Kevin Gausman for the Jays.
My best bets for today are targeting Yamamoto to go deep into a low-scoring game in Toronto.
Let’s get right into the best bets – and their odds at the best betting sites – for Friday, Oct. 31.
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
Yoshinobu Yamamoto OVER 18.5 Outs (-109)
The Dodgers exhausted their bullpen in the 18-inning marathon win on Monday night, and we saw the effects of that with Blake Snell going 6.2 innings on 116 pitches in Game 5.
Yamamoto should have a similarly long leash in Game 6, and he’ll be ready to go deep into the game once again in his last start of the year.
The righthander has thrown two straight complete games and has now allowed just seven runs (five earned) on 17 hits in 28.2 innings this postseason. He’s been relatively efficient as well, needing 111 and 105 pitches in those two nine-inning efforts.
The Dodgers are going to ride Yamamoto as long as they physically can in Game 6, and the books can’t set his outs recorded line high enough.
Dodgers vs. Blue Jays UNDER 7.5 (-110)
Yamamoto has been dominant for the Dodgers, and Kevin Gausman hasn’t been too bad himself for the Blue Jays.
The veteran has allowed seven runs on 14 hits in 24.2 innings this postseason for a 2.55 ERA. He pitched in Game 2 for Toronto, allowing three runs on four hits (two home runs) in 6.2 innings.
The Dodgers’ bats have gone cold, and Gausman has already shown that he can quiet them. Yamamoto isn’t going to allow much for the Dodgers either, in what should be an extremely low-scoring contest in Toronto on Friday night.
