My MLB picks like the Blue Jays to keep it close in a low-scoring game. Los Angeles is a -190 home betting favorite to take a 3-2 series lead, with first pitch set for 8 p.m. ET from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles (FOX).

⚾ Blue Jays vs. Dodgers Game 5 preview & score prediction

I expect a much better Blake Snell in Game 5 than the one you saw in Game 1. Snell - who's featured in our Blue Jays vs. Dodgers player props - put forth his worst postseason outing in the World Series opener, allowing five earned runs across five innings pitched while scattering eight hits. Before that, he hadn't allowed a run across his last 14 innings, giving up just two hits while striking out 19. The long rest in between starts (11 days) might have had something to do with it. We'll see a more locked-in Snell tonight.

Can the rookie go toe-to-toe and cash the Under?

Trey Yesavage won the battle against Snell in Game 1, tossing four innings of two-run baseball, but will he be able to limit the Dodgers' bats again?

For one, I think we'll see more of his splitter tonight, his go-to strikeout pitch that he only used 18% of the time in his first World Series start. In comparison, he used that pitch 26% of the time during the regular season. While the Dodgers are a good splitter-hitting team, they haven't seen one from Yesavage's arm angle, and I expect him to lean on it tonight to get the job done.

No matter how you squeeze it, this will be a tight matchup with razor-thin margins. Take the Blue Jays on the run line for safe-keeping, and the Under. I'm locking these in as part of my best Blue Jays vs. Dodgers predictions tonight.

Head on over to FanDuel to grab the best -120 betting odds (54.5% implied probability) on the Blue Jays run line, with DraftKings holding the top betting odds (-107, 51% implied probability) on the Under.

✅ Score prediction: Dodgers 4, Blue Jays 3

🆚 Key matchup to watch

Blake Snell vs. Alejandro Kirk

Alejandro Kirk has Snell's number. Not only did he go 2-for-2 against him in Game 1 with a home run and two RBI, but he's 5-for-7 against the lefty in his career during the regular season, striking out just 11% of the time. For the Blue Jays to have any success, Kirk will need to produce once more. And for Snell to dominate, he'll have to be careful around the Toronto catcher once he steps in the box.

✅ Best player prop bet: Alejandro Kirk 2+ hits/runs/RBI (+128 via DraftKings)
