Contrarian Crusher - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Rotation #960 Sunday 10* Top Play Tampa Bay Rays Money Line (+) vs Los Angeles Dodgers @ 8:08 ET - The key to my long-term success in this industry has been because of being a contrarian. Yes, Clayton Kershaw was dominant in game one and Tyler Glasnow struggled badly with his command. But, Glasnow also struck out 8 in 4 and 1/3 innings while allowing only 3 hits. I know what he is capable of. When you factor that in with the positive energy in the Tampa Bay clubhouse after last night's amazing win when they were down to their last strike, you have a great situation here. The heavily favored Dodgers are starting to feel the pressure. They showed that even with the way the cracked in the bottom of the 9th last night with the game on the line. Two miscues on the same play - a solid line drive hit to right-center - misplayed by both the center fielder and the catcher. The pressure is all on Los Angeles now with this series tied at 2 games apiece. I will gladly take the underdog value again here as the Rays continue to play loose knowing that nothing is expected of them here. They cherish the underdog role and no one believing in them. That makes for a very dangerous dog and last night's upset win could be the catalyst for a huge upset in this series as well. Only time will tell but I am riding with the Rays to win Game 5 and surprise everyone. 10* TAMPA BAY
