The Tampa Bay Rays dropped Game 1 of the series and are in need of a win to stay in the series. The Tampa Bay Rays offense has struggled a bit, scoring three or fewer runs in three of their last five games. The Rays are just 3-5 in the playoffs when scoring three or fewer runs. Blake Snell will try and even the series when he takes the mound. During the regular season, he went 4-2 with a 3.24 ERA and in the playoffs, he is 2-3 with a 2.88 ERA.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have won four straight games and Dodger pitching is allowing just 2.5 runs over those four games. The Dodgers are 9-0 this postseason when allowing less than five runs. Tony Gonsolin will take the mound for the Dodgers. During the regular season, he posted a 2-2 record with a 2.31 ERA. In the postseason he is 0-1 with a 9.95 ERA.

Snell has allowed seven runs and 16 hits in 19.2 innings while striking out 19 and walking 10 during the postseason. The Dodgers have won four straight and their bullpen that's been able to shut things down. The Rays offense has cooled down and has relied on the long ball to score the vast majority of their runs. The Dodgers have been scoring in bunches and that should continue against Snell who has struggled with his control.
Play on the LA DODGERS.
