The Dodgers took Game 1 of this series pretty easily on Friday night, but will face a tough challenge with Max Fried on the mound. Fried has allowed one run or fewer in four of his last five starts and has been pretty dominant in all four of those outings. For the Dodgers, Mitch White has allowed six runs in his last 16.1 innings pitched. I think you are getting good value with the Dodgers as underdogs in this game. Fried will be a tough matchup, but this one of the top lineups in the MLB. I like the Dodgers to win.
