After 12 Scoreless Innings, Will the Offensive Drought Finally Break Tonight?

After 12 Scoreless Innings, Will the Offensive Drought Finally Break Tonight?

I got the bet wrong last night, which I am still a bit conflicted about. On the one hand, I feel like an 18 inning game should go over the total because of all the opportunities. On the other hand, I feel like it should be an under because clearly no one can score for the majority of it. Regardless of my feelings, which are irrelevant, we got a gem last night. The Dodgers got the scoring started with a Teoscar Hernandez homer in the second, and Shohei Ohtani raked another one the following inning. The Blue Jays stormed back in the fourth getting a three-run mammoth bomb from their catcher, Alejandro Kirk, and another run tacked on via a sacrifice fly. The Dodgers tied it up rather quickly, getting even in the bottom of the 5th, once again with a lot of involvement from Ohtani. Bo Bichette delivered for the Blue Jays in the 7th and then Ohtani tied it up with another solo shot of his own in the bottom of the frame. From there, no scoring happened until Freddie Freeman hit a ball to center. I still maintain that I think with a better read, and certainly better jump at the wall, the Blue Jays centerfielder could’ve had a great shot to rob that homer. I suppose it doesn’t matter because it didn’t happen. Instead, we got a win for the Dodgers, and they are now up 2-1 in the series.
