T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers

I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to win this game against the San Diego Padres on Friday. Off the Game 2 loss, the team with the best record in baseball will look to bounce back on Friday. Tony Gonsolin (16-1, 2.14 ERA) was one of the best pitchers in the majors this season and he'll get the nod here. His record and ERA speak for themselves. But, he might not go too far into this game as he's only pitched twice since August 23rd. If he doesn't go too far, I expect them to lean to Tyler Anderson or another starter to get them deep into this game. Anderson was also incredible this year. The Dodgers are 54-27 on the road this season, while the Padres are only 44-37 at home. After a loss this season, the Dodgers are 33-18. For the Padres, they'll have Blake Snell (8-10, 3.38 ERA) on the mound on Friday. He's already pitched this postseason, when he gave up 2 earned runs in just 3.1 innings against the Mets in a 7-3 loss. Expect the Dodgers to light him up here in Game 3 to get home field advantage back in the favor of LA.

T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Dodgers.
