Kenny G said the Dodgers are worth laying the –190 because the matchup strongly favors them even after getting blanked 4-0 in Game 2. His confidence is built around Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s current form—9-7 record, 2.63 ERA, and seven innings of one-run ball against Cincinnati his last time out—and a Rays lineup that he called "pretty banged-up" and unlikely to maintain its season-long ranking of 11th in runs. Tampa starter Joe Boyle owns a solid 2.82 ERA on paper, but Kenny reminded listeners that Boyle was "obliterated by the Yankees" in his previous start and now faces an offense that, slump or not, still ranks top-five in MLB hard-hit rate. He also noted both clubs’ heavy under tendencies (Dodgers 29-21-1 to the under on the road, Rays 32-24-3 to the under at home) but prefers the side because L.A. has a clear edge in starting pitching and lineup quality even if its bullpen remains shaky.

Kenny G’s favorite play for Dodgers-Rays is UNDER 9 runs. He highlighted that Clayton Kershaw still carries a solid 3.62 ERA while Tampa’s Shane Baz just threw a gem his last time out. Both lineups are ice-cold: LA has produced 2-5-5-3-2-5 runs in its last six games despite ranking second in season-long scoring, and Tampa Bay has lost seven of eight while posting 4-4-5-4-1-2 runs. Bullpens are middling but not disastrous (Dodgers 4.24 ERA, Rays 3.84), and each club trends heavily to the under in these splits — Los Angeles is 29-21-1 to the under on the road; Tampa is 32-24-3 to the under at The Trop. With both teams sputtering at the plate and no glaring weather concerns, Kenny expects only a modest offensive output unless one starter completely implodes, making the under his top recommendation.
