5 day layover

Seems excessive.

Could hurt hitting and pitching.

We'll see 

@leventis72

 that's what crossed my mind

If the dodgers had closed out game 5 on Friday, then they would have moved up the world series a few days but since that didn't happen they decided to keep it at the Friday start which would have been the original latest start for game 1.

Good point. Baseball is an everyday six plus month affair. I would love to see the records of division winners and higher seeds with at least five days rest or more. That may be due to a quick series or the increased number of rounds because of Wild Card expansionism. In the last few seasons look at the Orioles, Phillies, Dodgers, and Braves as examples. Two vivid World Series examples I know off top of my head are the 2006 and 2012. Detroit lost both after nearly a week off after ALCS wins. St. Louis and San Francisco had two off days while Detroit had like a week. 

Yep.. I think both teams lose their momentum after so many days off.  I'll have to see who's up in the mound and the lineup, but I might be leary to lay money.. we'll see.

 LAD Flaherty, Yamamoto, Buehler

NYY Cole, Rodon, Schmidt       most likely

Go LA!      Should be a great series to watch

I bet under 8.5 large already for game 1 

I went with LAD for the series but the odds were -123 so not great

I think the F5 or first half of the game odds for Under of game 1 are a good grab but in warm LA as the game goes on we can potentially start to see more runs because look at how many good hitters you have up there. Once they are seeing enough pitches it's easy for things to start happening. We will see and this is only my 2 cents

BOL bro 

I think this is the great play , as well as First 5 innings Under.  With a 5PM PST start, also don't forget that shadows could be an added factor early in this game, impacting the hitters.  So add shadows onto a 5 day layoff... Not a good combination.    I think the F5 under is  a live play.  

As long as Judge does fall thru the bullpen fence again, kinda hard to do from center.  Just a heads up Soto, that fence moves
