First five under 4.5 (-130)

Cole and Flaherty each showed elite material in the opener of this series, leaving me confident this game can go down despite the hitter-friendly conditions at Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees ace pitched six innings of one-run ball while allowing just four hits, and Flaherty threw five-and-a-thirds of two-run ball, allowing Giancarlo Stanton only a two-run homer.

Both pitchers had the upper hand and with the thought of an elimination game, I expect we will see another pitcher’s duel early in this game.

The Dodgers will need solid innings from Flaherty after a bullpen matchup in Game 4, and while he has been up and down this series, the team has been able to string together fine performances so far in the postseason.

Meanwhile, Cole has been arguably the best pitcher in baseball since the playoffs began, allowing seven earned runs over 22 innings while striking out nearly three batters with every walk issued.

I’m siding with the top five bottom in what could be a cagey start to this elimination game.

Jack Flaherty UNDER 15.5 outs (-160)

Flaherty has fallen below this level in only one of four postseason starts, but given the nature of this game and the hitter-friendly conditions at Yankee Stadium, I believe we’ll see a more tactical approach from Flaherty that will see him hit a higher can climb the field. count.

He walked just one batter in his Game 1 start that lasted 16 outs, compared to the four walks he issued in his second NLCS start.

However, given the stakes of this game, I imagine manager Dave Roberts will quickly move to the bullpen that has already navigated through tough waters this season.

Flaherty has had suspect control, but even in a strong outing, I see him reaching his threshold quicker against a Yankees lineup that is off its best performance of the postseason, with 11 runs over the Dodgers in Game 4.

Teoscar Hernandez hits a home run (+630)

Hernandez went deep in Game 2 but has drifted further away than the rest of his sweet-swinging teammates in Los Angeles’ order.

The 2024 Home Run Derby Champion is hitting well in this series, recording a hit in all four games in addition to the two-run homer in Game 2.

While Gerrit Cole faces a tough test on the mound, the Yankees bullpen has proven vulnerable to the long ball this series, and at any price I’ll take Hernandez to get one in hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium.
