Sport 2 storylines
Dodgers: Even with a comeback win and a powerful, however not good, outing from Shohei Ohtani in his postseason playoff debut, the Dodgers’ bullpen stays the group’s largest threat. May Roki Sasaki be the reply? The rookie, who struggled in his first MLB season, has appeared dominant out of the bullpen within the playoffs up to now.
Phillies: Till Teoscar Hernández’s go-ahead three-run house run in Sport 1, the Phillies pitchers had been largely capable of shut down the highest of the Dodgers lineup. It is exhausting to think about they will hold that up, however they’re going to must as a way to take the sequence.
Sport 2 prediction
Anticipate one other tight one. Snell appeared like a playoff ace final outing whereas Luzardo can miss bats in addition to anybody in baseball. Plus, he is a lefty and that helps to no less than barely neutralize Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman. I will say the Phillies discover a method, however the Dodgers have the beginning pitching benefit. — Matt Snyder
