Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Dodgerswill meet again on Friday, October 23, at 8:08 PM (ET) at Global Life Field in Texas for Game 3 of the 2020 World Series.Here, you’ll find everything there is to know about this must-watchgame, such as the match information, storylines, predictions, odds, and even how to watch MLB’s ultimate stage.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays are back from their one-day rest and will send their aces to the mound for the tiebreaker after two exciting games in this unpredictable2020 World Series.
Both teams have won one game and it doesn’t seem like either of them has a clear edge over the other. Obviously, the Dodgers’ payroll is significantly bigger, but the Rays have played like an elite team since the start of the season. Thus far, they’re one of the few teams that has never won a World Series.
Walker Buehler and Charlie Morton will get the nod for their teams in Game 3, which is terrible news for both offenses, considering that both wins have come fueled by home runs and explosive offense.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Los Angeles Dodgers:Storylines
Even though Clayton Kershaw and Mookie Betts’ salary for this season combine for the entire payroll of the Tampa Bay Rays, just three wins separate one team from the other entering the World Series.
The Dodgers took Game 1 led by an impressive effort by Kershaw but the ‘opener’ strategy backfired badly for Dave Roberts, with Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May struggling to get batters out in Game 2.
Now, Walker Buehler (1-0, 1.89 ERA in the postseason) will have a lot of pressure on his shoulders, as Charlie Morton (3-0, 0.57 ERA in the postseason) will try to continue his flawless run in the playoffs.
Even if the Dodgers have a much-better offense, the Rays’ bullpen has been near perfect throughout the postseason, so they’ll have to be quite aggressive to take Morton out of the game early if they want to have a shot tonight.
