The World Series shifts to L.A. with the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers tied at one game apiece.
The pregame narrative: Both teams had a statement win of sorts with the Blue Jays dominating Game 1 before getting stifled by a masterclass pitching performance in Game 2. On Monday, Max Scherzer will take the mound opposite Tyler Glasnow for the Dodgers.
Check out my Blue Jays vs. Dodgers picks for Game 3 of the World Series, featuring a prop prediction on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Blue Jays vs. Dodgers picks
Best bet: Over 8 runs (-109)
The Jays' bats went cold in Game 2, but I'm willing to chalk that up to another dominant postseason outing from Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
If we look at Toronto's playoffs as a whole, the ballclub is scoring 6.4 runs per game. Keeping the bats quiet for long periods has proven to be very difficult.
Glasnow has been great for the Dodgers, giving up just one run over 11.2 innings. But the Jays were able to get to Blake Snell, and I expect a strong bounce-back performance.

On the other side, Scherzer was fantastic in his ALCS start, but it's hard to trust the veteran to replicate that against the Dodgers.
L.A. is second behind Toronto with 4.6 runs scored per game in the playoffs.
It's easy to see one of, if not both of these teams, putting on an offensive clinic in Game 3, and that makes the over on this modest total a solid pick.
Key stat: There have been 8+ runs in nine of the Blue Jays' 13 postseason games.

World Series best bet
Guerrero over 1.5 bases (-109): Out of the Blue Jays hitters, Vladdy has the best stats against Glasnow.
- He is 6-for-17 off the righty (.353), with a home run and four walks.
- Guerrero leads the MLB in postseason OPS (1.343), hits (22) and total bases (43). For context, George Springer is second with 32 total bases.
The slugging first baseman is untouched as the league's hottest hitter right now. When he's had previous success in a matchup, it only makes sense to take this over.
In the playoffs, Guerrero is 8-5 against this line.
