MLB World Series Game 3 Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 10/27

Before we jump into the MLB World Series Game 3 Best Bets, let’s quickly set the stage for Monday night. After losing the series opener, the Dodgers bounced back in Game 2 with a 5-1 victory. Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s complete game dominance was one of the best individual World Series pitching performances of all time. 

The series is now 1-1 heading into Game 3 with an intriguing starting pitching matchup of Max Scherzer vs. Tyler Glasnow on tap. Can Toronto’s offense wake back up in Game 3? Or will Los Angeles get it done at home? Let’s now get to our Blue Jays vs. Dodgers predictions and MLB World Series Game 3 Best Bets. 

 

 


 

Blue Jays vs. Dodgers World Series Game 3 Predictions: Monday, October 27th

The Dodgers should have the starting pitching edge tonight. Tyler Glasnow has been excellent in the postseason, with a 0.68 ERA over 13.1 innings. He tossed 6 shutout innings against the Phillies in the NLDS, and then 5.2 innings of one-run ball against the Brewers in the NLCS. The right-hander also posted 8 strikeouts in both outings. 

Glasnow was pitching well at the end of the regular season, and he’s carried it over into the playoffs. The Dodgers’ starter boasts a 1.80 ERA since the start of September and a 2.56 ERA since the beginning of August. Today, he’ll also benefit from pitching in Los Angeles, where he has a 2.45 ERA across 13 home starts this year. 

The Blue Jays’ offense is obviously a dangerous one, as evidenced by the 11-run explosion in Game 1. Yet, Glasnow can quiet this lineup like he did to the Phillies and Brewers in his last two outings – both of which also came at home. We just saw what good pitching can do to Toronto. Maybe Glasnow isn’t Yamamoto, but he still has elite stuff at his best. 

It’s also worth noting that LA’s bullpen is well-rested with every top arm available following Yamamoto’s complete game on Saturday. That matters more for the Dodgers, since their relief corps has been shaky besides the back-end of the pen. 

Meanwhile, let’s fade Max Scherzer on the road today. The veteran was pretty good in his ALCS outing against Seattle, allowing 2 runs over 5.2 innings. However, the Dodgers’ lineup will be a tougher test for a pitcher who was previously struggling, and could be due to regress here. 

This will be just the second appearance in a game for Scherzer over the last month. Before his ALCS start, the Blue Jays’ right-hander ended the regular season with a 9.00 ERA over his final 6 starts. He powered through against the Mariners, but there was some rust in the outing. Scherzer issued 4 walks and had to escape a couple of jams. The damage could’ve been worse, and the Dodgers can take advantage of those opportunities. 

Let’s take the Dodgers to win by 2+ runs as they cover the runline. They can carry the momentum of a comfortable Game 2 victory into tonight’s matchup. Los Angeles is now 10-2 in the postseason with 7 of those wins coming by multiple runs. The reigning World Series champs are also 19-4 over their last 23 games now. Take the over on the Dodgers’ team total as well.

 

 

 

Best World Series Game 3 Player Prop Bets & Other Picks Today, 10/27

Let’s also add in some MLB player props to our Blue Jays vs. Dodgers predictions. Will Smith was LA’s best hitter in Game 2, going 2-for-4 with a home run and 3 RBI. He’s now batting .409 in the NLCS and World Series combined. The Dodgers’ catcher has re-found his swing and looks more comfortable at the plate since missing the end of the regular season. 

Smith may be 0-for-4 in his career against Scherzer, but he can still have success. During the season, he hit .309 with a .924 OPS vs. right-handed pitching. That’s carried over into the postseason, where Smith is batting .333 in the split. Plus, as the cleanup hitter, Smith is in a great spot for RBI opportunities behind Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman. 

On the Blue Jays’ side, Vladimir Guerrero remains a massive threat at the plate. He’s hitting .431 with a 1.343 OPS in the postseason with the potential to go deep in any at-bat. He also boasts excellent career numbers against Glasnow (.353 BA, 1.123 OPS). The Dodgers would be smart to pitch around Vladdy, whether intentionally or not. With that in mind, bank on him drawing at least one walk. Guerrero Jr. has been walked 7 times in the past 11 games, and Glasnow issued 3 walks in both of his last two playoff starts. 

Plus, take the over on Scherzer’s walks prop. As noted above, the Toronto starter walked four Mariners in his ALCS outing. The Dodgers can also be a patient lineup to test Scherzer. They had an 11.4% walk rate in the NLCS and should look to draw more free passes after not doing so at all against Kevin Gausman in Game 2.
