LA Dodgers vs Tampa Bay Rays 10/27/20 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The 2020 World Series will continue on Tuesday night, when the Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Dodgers square off in Game Six from Globe Life Field. On Sunday, Tampa Bay went 1-for-7 with RISP and struck out ten times during a 4-2 defeat. SP Tyler Glasnow gave up four runs in five innings and took his second loss in this best-of-seven series.

2018 Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell (4-2 3.24 ERA) will take the mound for the Rays in this matchup. In Game Two, Snell allowed two runs and fanned nine batters across four plus innings of a 6-4 victory. 

The Los Angeles Dodgers have won every odd game in this series and stand one victory away from their first World Series Championship since 1988. In Game Five, Los Angeles SP Clayton Kershaw (2-0) allowed two runs and struck out six batters across five plus frames to earn the win. Joc Pederson and Max Muncy each homered for the Dodgers.

Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts has yet to name a starting pitcher for Game Six. He is likely to give the nod to righty Tony Gonsolin (2-2 2.31 ERA), who has given up eight earned runs and walked seven batters in just seven plus innings this postseason.
