Dodgers vs. Yankees World Series Game 5 Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, Betting Trends & Stats

Anthony Volpe’s grand slam Tuesday Night lifted New York to an 11-4 victory in Game 4 and offered the Yankees and their fans hope as they now trail the series 3 games to 1. The young shortstop’s explosion awakened New York’s offense like the Bronx The Bombers picked up 9 hits including home runs by the aforementioned Volpe as well as a 3-run shot by Gleyber Torres. The Yankees’ bullpen was light over the last 5 innings, while the Dodgers’ relievers gave up 10 runs over the last 6 innings.

The bulk of the Dodgers’ offense was provided by Freddie Freeman, who homered in the 1st inning^St with Mookie Betts aboard for his 4th^th round tripper of the series and an MLB record 6^th even game in the fall Classic with a home run.

Hope for the Yankees on Wednesday takes the field in the form of their ace, Gerrit Cole. He was brilliant in Game 1, throwing 6 innings of 4-hit, 1-run ball. Jack Flaherty takes the mound for Los Angeles. The right-hander was also a force in Game 1, allowing just 2 runs in 5.1 innings.

The loss in Game 4 lowered the Dodgers’ odds (-800) to win the World Series by 60% and the Yankees’ odds (+550) to win it all improved by 45%.

Probable starting pitchers for Los Angeles @ New York – World Series Game 5

● Wednesday’s pitching game (October 30): Jack Flaherty vs. Gerrit Cole

○ Avoid: Flaherty (1-2, 6.10 ERA) – Acquired at the trade deadline from Detroit, the veteran has been the Dodgers’ ace since arriving in SoCal. That said, he has been inconsistent in the postseason, posting a miserable outing after every good outing. In the NLCS, Flaherty lasted just 3 innings after beating the Mets in Game 1, giving up 8 runs in Game 5.

○ Yankees: Cole (1-0, 2.82 ERA) – The Yankees’ undisputed ace has been outstanding all postseason. New York has won 3 of his 4 starts in October. The only loss was Game 1 of this series when they lost in 10 innings on the Freeman Slam. He has allowed 7 earned runs in 22.1 innings.
