Los Angeles Dodgers One Win Away From World Series

Is tonight the night we crown a World Series champion and put an end to a roller coaster of a season?

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been in this position before. One victory away from a World Series ring, they have the Tampa Bay Rays on the brink of elimination.

Online bookmaker BetOnline has the Rays at +117 on the Money Line.

Lefty Blake Snell will get the ball for Tampa Bay. In his last WS start, Snell failed to leave the fifth inning. For the Rays to escape elimination, Snell will need to go deep in this game.

Tony Gonsolin gets the start for LA. The rookie right-hander started game 2 and was rocked, leaving the game after 1 1/3 innings pitched.

What will help Los Angeles tonight is that many pitchers will be available to throw if need. 15 pitchers on the roster mean manager Dave Roberts can tinker with pitchers and have it not affect a potential game 7.

Extra base hitting has been huge for LA as well. Their ability to find the gaps or lift the ball into the bleachers has been a game-changer. Snell and the rest of TB’s pitching staff will need to be methodical in their pitching plan because of how dangerous the Dodgers’ hitters are.

Tampa Bay has kept LA on their toes. The Rays are not afraid to try and take an extra-base or even potentially steal home. The Dodgers need to expect the unexpected with Tampa Bay because all options are on the table.

The Dodgers are on the verge of a World Series championship. With their backs against the wall, can Tampa Bay force a decisive game 7?
