MLB Odds: Game 4 Could End World Series for BoSox, Dodgers

After losing the first two games of the 2018 World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers return to Chavez Ravine with their backs against the wall – and with the Boston Red Sox firmly in command. Saturday’s Game 4 could be the last game of the season if the Dodgers don’t shape up; FOX has the coverage at 8:09 PM ET.

Both teams will sort out their starting rotations after Wednesday’s Game 2, which the Red Sox won 4-2 as –150 favorites. They used Nathan Eovaldi for an inning of relief; he threw just 13 pitches, so he should be ready to start Game 4 if required. Boston plans to use Rick Porcello for Game 3 on Friday, while Los Angeles will go with Walker Buehler in a virtual must-win situation.

Being down 2-0 in the World Series is obviously a major disadvantage for the Dodgers, but they’ve been here before. In 1955, 1965 and 1981, they came all the way back to win the championship. However, the team up 2-0 has won the World Series a little over 80% of the time. The Red Sox did just that in 2004 and 2007, sweeping St. Louis and Colorado respectively.





MLB Odds: Red Sox-Dodgers in Possible World Series Finale

The Los Angeles Dodgers have some work to do if they want to win the World Series. They return home down 2-0 to the Boston Red Sox; Game 4 on Saturday could be the last game of the season, and it begins at 8:09 PM ET on FOX.

While the starting pitchers for Saturday remain undecided at press time, Nathan Eovaldi (3.33 ERA) might get the nod for Boston, after he pitched relief in the first two games at Fenway. That leaves Rick Porcello to start Game 3 on Friday. Los Angeles will go with Walker Buehler.
