Dodgers vs Yankees World Series Game 5 Predictions & MLB Picks (10/30)

Even though there’s still a long way to go to even the series, the Yankees showed signs of life with an 11-4 blowout win over the Dodgers in Game 4.

The two teams traded runs throughout the game, however, the Yankees managed to pull away with a five-run eighth inning led by Gleyber Torres’ three-run homer.  There just wasn’t enough time for the Dodgers to bounce back after that, leaving time to tell if they can regain control of the World Series tonight.

Interestingly, Los Angeles has rarely lost consecutive outings during the 2024 postseason, going 3-1 SU following a loss thus far. The Yankees did win back-to-back games twice during the AL Championship Series; however, it remains to be seen if they can do so against the Dodgers.

Even though they lost last nice, the Dodgers are still a solid 6-3 SU across their last nine trips to Yankee Stadium. Conversely, the Yankees are winners of five of their last seven home contests.

Do the Dodgers have what it takes to get back to their successful ways at Yankee Stadium? 

The Dodgers are turning to RHP Jack Flaherty as they look to end the World Series tonight. After a shaky NLCS performance, the 29-year-old veteran hurler performed well against New York in Game 1 on Friday, striking out six batters while allowing only two runs across 5 1/3 innings.

Although Flaherty wasn’t credited with the win, it’s clear that Los Angeles trusts him enough to get the job done.

On the other hand, the Yankees are rolling with RHP Gerrit Cole again. The six-time MLB All-Star pitcher surrendered just one run with four Ks in six innings when he went head-to-head against Flaherty in Game 1, leaving New York to hope that he picks up right from where he left off.

Does Yankees RHP Gerrit Cole have another strong performance in store for Game 5? 

Yesterday, I was confident that the Dodgers were ending the World Series. Today, I see the Yankees staying alive with another win in Game 5. Last night’s performance was exactly what New York needed to turn the tables and I can see that trend continuing given Flaherty’s unpredictable play this postseason. As long as Cole leans on his veteran experience, the Bronx Bombers have the tools to force the series back to Los Angeles.

As for the best bet, let’s take the Dodgers to score o3.5 total runs (-135). Even if I’m predicting the Yankees to win, I can’t ignore the fact that the Dodgers have scored four-plus runs in 12 of their 15 playoff games so far, which includes the last eight in a row.

I know streaks can’t continue forever, but I don’t see the Dodgers’ offensive production dipping anytime soon.

Best Dodgers vs Yankees World Series Game 5 Player Prop (10/30)

I’m going with Gleyber Torres o1.5 hits + runs + RBIs (-140) for the best Dodgers vs. Yankees World Series Game 5 player prop.

Torres has been one of the Yankees’ best players this postseason, slashing .264/.375/.434 with 14 hits, two homers, eight RBIs, 10 walks, and 10 runs scored across 53 at-bats. The Venezuelan infielder has finished with the Over on this prop in eight of his 13 playoff outings so far, including in Game 4 last night. Considering how he tallied two hits in Game 1 — including one off Flaherty — I’m feeling good about Torres’ outlook regarding this prop tonight.
