The Los Angeles Dodgers Close In On A MLB World Series Title

The first five games of this season’s MLB best-of-seven World Series have all been instant classics. The drama has been high from the start between the two best teams in the Majors this year.

Will The Los Angeles Dodgers Be Able To Close In On A MLB World Series Title?

The Los Angeles Dodgers pulled out the 4-2 win in Game 5 on Sunday night as -165 favorites. They are just one win away from that elusive world title with the 3-2 series lead. However, the Tampa Bay Rays have already responded to a pair of losses with a crucial win in the following game.

MLB World Series 2020 Game 6 Betting Odds

Heading into Tuesday night’s Game 6 at 8:08 p.m. (ET) on FOX, BetOnline sportsbook has Los Angeles listed as a -140 favorite. The Dodgers are the designated home team at Globe Life Field. Tampa Bay is a +130 underdog on the site’s MLB dime line. The total is set at eight runs with a slight -115 lean towards the OVER. You can bet the UNDER at -105.

Sunday night’s game stayed UNDER the eight-run closing line. At least eight combined runs have been scored in each of the first four matchups to take the total OVER each time.

Tampa Bay scored six runs to win Game 2 and eight runs to take Game 4. The best bet for Tuesday night could be the Rays and the OVER. This series appears to be destined to go the distance.

MLB World Series 2020 Price Betting Odds

Betting the adjusted series price odds is another interesting option. The Dodgers opened this series as -200 favorites to win. Following every win, those series price odds ballooned to -400. Following each loss, they retreated back to -200.

Following Game 5, The Los Angeles Dodgers is now a heavy -600 favorite. It only has to win one of the next two games to clinch the series.

Tampa Bay opened the series as +170 underdogs. The Rays’ series price odds have followed the same trajectory. They shot up to +320 after losing the series opener. They slid back down to +170 with each corresponding win.

Heading into Game 6 with the prospect of having to win two straight, they are +440 underdogs.

Given the never say die attitude of these underdogs, a small wager at that price makes some solid betting sense. However, it is also safe to say that LA is due. This is after losing two straight World Series appearances in 2017 and 2018. The Dodgers were stunned by Washington last year in the best-of-five NLDS.

This team has remained the clear favorite to win the 2020 World Series going back to Spring Training. The Dodgers delivered in the shortened regular season with the best record in the Majors (43-17). Destiny appears to be on their side this time around. The Los Angeles Lakers just won the NBA title. The West Coast is suddenly back in the championship picture.

Take the Rays on Tuesday night but look for the Dodgers to finally seal the deal in Wednesday’s deciding Game 7.
