The 2017 World Series Game 2 betting odds had the Dodgers at between -103 and -112 and the Astros at -102 most books with a total set at 7.5.
The pitching matchup cries UNDER.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Justin Verlander (4-0, 1.46 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Rich Hill (0-0, 3.00)
Verlander has a stellar 11-5 postseason record, but none of those victories occurred in the World Series, where he went 0-3 with a 7.20 ERA in three career starts for the Tigers.
Hill is 1-2 with a 3.96 ERA in six career postseason starts and is making his World Series debut.
The really hot trends come into play here:
The Astros are 8-0 in Verlander’s last 8 starts and 7-0 in his last 7 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance.
The Dodgers are 5-0 in Hill’s last 5 starts and 10-1 in his last 11 starts after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game.
The UNDER 7.5 looks good here especially after last night’s low scoring affair.
