Tampa Bay vs. Los Angeles

Clayton Kershaw shut down the Rays for six innings and the Dodger bats took over from there, dominating Tampa Bay with an 8-3 victory in Game 1. A similar scenario could happen tonight against Blake Snell, who hasn't pitched more than five innings in any postseason start this season. Snell has allowed seven runs on 15 hits, including three home runs in 14 innings pitched in the playoffs. Tony Gonsolin will start for Los Angeles and he pitched well in the regular season when he had a 2.31 ERA and .193 opponent batting average. If the Rays can't score early, they don't have the hitting to mount a big comeback. The Dodgers have won 19 of their last 26 versus left-handed starters and 20 of their last 26 against American League teams overall. The Dodgers are on a roll winning four in a row, including the last three against Atlanta in the NLCS. Take the Dodgers to continue that streak.
