World Series Game 1
Both teams did remarkably well in the playoffs, and will need to do just as well, or even better, to get ahead this time. But the Dodgers’ performance in the NLCS is what makes them into favorites, and with good reason. A lot of sportsbook betting software providers will put them as a favorite because of their skill. In fact, the Dodgers were able to win three games straight versus the Atlanta Braves.
Let’s look at the Dodgers. They are 4-1 in their last 5 games, all of which they were a favorite. They are 1-5 in their last 6 World Series games. Most of their performance this season is showing us that the Dodgers are coming in strong. However, it is also worth noting that the Dodgers tend to perform poorly in the World Series.
As for the Tampa Bay Rays, they are 9-2 in their most recent 11 games. They are also 4-0 in their most recent inter-league games. In games where they are the underdog, they are 12-4 in the last 16 games. While the Rays are doing great as well, they still have to contend with the powerhouse that the Dodgers are.
