This is a 10* on LA DODGERS

The Dodgers were one out away from taking a 3-1 lead in the World Series and making this an elimination game for the Rays. By now, we all know that is not what happened. A dramatic 2-out single in the bottom of the ninth by Brett Phillips, which led to the Dodgers making TWO errors on the play, resulted in an 8-7 win for Tampa Bay and now we’re knotted at two games apiece. We expect Los Angeles to bounce back though as they send out Game 1 winner Clayton Kershaw to the mound tonight. Kershaw was masterful in Game 1, allowing just one run on two hits over six innings. He now has a 2.38 ERA and 0.84 WHIP this season and the Dodgers have won 11 of his 14 starts. Kershaw will again be opposed by Tyler Glasnow in Game 5, same as he was in Game 1. Glasnow was left in too long by Rays manager Kevin Cash in Game 1, which led to much deliberation, as he threw more pitches than any Rays starter has in any game this season. Glasnow has not made it a full six innings in any start this year and walked six batters in Game 1. How much mileage Cash can get out of his bullpen tonight, based on usage last night, is up for debate. What we do know is the Rays offense remains entirely too dependent on the home run ball. The Dodgers are 17-5 off a loss this year. Play on LA DODGERS
