Premium Pick
1.5 units on Los Angeles -175 (moneyline) (risk 1.5 to return 2.36)
Result:
WIN

Both teams come off emotional seven-game series with Tampa Bay barely avoiding a total collapse and the Dodgers coming back from a 3-1 series deficit with a thrilling 4-3 win on Sunday night. The World Series will be played at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and it will be a familiar setting for Los Angeles, which just finished playing the NLCS there. The Rays have done it with great pitching and good fundamentals, along with the stunning emergence of Randy Arozarena, who was named the ALCS MVP and hit a two-run homer in Game 7 against the Astros. The Dodgers though have hitting prowess and power up and down the lineup, including Mookie Betts, Cody Bellinger, and NLCS MVP Corey Seager, who hit five homers in seven games. Several of the Dodgers were on the 2017 team that lost to Houston in the infamous World Series that the Astros were found to be cheating by stealing signals. That gives the Dodgers advantages in extra motivation as well as experience. Los Angeles is 43-17 following an off day and 23-8 its last 31 interleague games. Take the Dodgers in Game 1.
