Gerrit Cole takes the mound for the Yankees in Game 5 after a stellar performance in Game 1, where he pitched six innings, allowing just one run and recording four strikeouts. With a 2.82 ERA in the playoffs, the 34-year-old right-hander has only allowed opponents to surpass this mark twice this postseason.

However, this being the Dodgers’ second look at him could spell trouble. In 148 combined at-bats, the Dodgers hold a lifetime .257 batting average, .312 OBP, and .745 OPS against Cole, with stars like Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Enrique Hernandez each hitting .348 or higher, with OBPs above .381 and OPS marks over .781.

The Dodgers’ offense has averaged over three runs in the first five innings across the last three games. Location doesn’t faze them—this is an explosive lineup packed with bats that can strike fast, especially Freeman, who’s homered in every game this series.

With tempting odds on a team total of 1.5, the Dodgers seeing Cole a second time, and their early success this series, this looks like a strong play for Game 5.
