Los Angeles at Toronto

Los Angeles appeared invincible against its National League opponents in the playoffs, but now it faces a team that definitely can hit and doesn't strike out much compared to most teams these days. The Dodgers hitters have had a week off, and that usually means it will take a bit for them to regain their timing. Plus, the Blue Jays have home-field advantage in Game 1 in front of some of the loudest fans in baseball. Toronto is 58-29 at home this season and 49-35-3 OVER. The Blue Jays are 94-72-7 OVER overall, and the Dodgers are 48-35-2 OVER on the road. Trey Yesavage has won five of his starts with a 3.21 ERA, and he allowed two runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings in Toronto's 6-2 win over Seattle on Sunday. Dodger hitters will be seeing him for the first time. Blake Snell had a 1.17 ERA at Dodger Stadium, but it rose to 4.30 in his four road starts this year. Take the Blue Jays and the OVER.
