Blue Jays at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Blue Jays 3

Moneyline

No interest; PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Blue Jays are 4-2 across their last 6 road games. They have the high-contact profile to survive Snell's tremendous stuff, and Toronto went an impressive 24-16 against lefty starters in the regular season.

The Jays were blown out in back-to-back Dodger Stadium games Aug. 8-9, but they have rallied to play the Dodgers tough in 3 Chavez Ravine games since (2 wins and an 18-inning loss).

With a likable Under in this final Dodger Stadium tilt of the series, TORONTO +1.5 (-130) is a slight lean.

Over/Under

Monday's 6-5 game hit the Over (8), and Tuesday's contest pushed with 8 runs. But certainly the back half of Monday's marathon and the bulk of Tuesday's innings were controlled by the pitchers. And the previous 3 games at Dodger Stadium landed as Unders.

The starter matchup here is solid, and the back ends of both bullpens were reset a bit Tuesday. A warmed-up night is expected in LA, but both starters do a good job in generating ground balls.

The UNDER 8 (-105) is the value side for Game 5.
