BOTTOM LINE: The Los Angeles Dodgers face the New York Yankees on Friday in Game 1 of the World Series.
Los Angeles has a 98-64 record overall and a 52-29 record in home games. The Dodgers have gone 65-12 in games when they hit at least two home runs.
New York has a 50-31 record in road games and a 94-68 record overall. The Yankees have a 75-22 record in games when they record at least eight hits.
The matchup Friday is the fourth time these teams match up this season.
The total has shot up from as low as 7.5 to as high as 9 at some books (Bookie.ag had the total on this game set at 9 as of 6:45 pm ET Friday evening).
Mookie Betts is 7 for 14 against Cole while the Dodgers roster as a whole has 8 RBIs in 127 at bats against him.
Shohei Ohtani has three RBIs against him in 20 appearances.
The Yankees have only made 54 appearances against Flaherty but are .315 with 8 RBIs during that span.
The last two times these teams met back in June they scored double digit runs. The Dodgers have scored over ten runs in half of their last ten games overall.
78% of the cash and greater than 70% of the tickets were on the Over and the oddsmakers were reactive as a result in an effort to get more action in on the Under.
