"I don't want to speak on anybody else," Betts said after Game 5. "But for myself, I've just been terrible."
"Hopefully, the off day, (he can) find a way to get away from it, and then go out there and just kind of focus on one game and be good for one game, go out there and compete," Roberts said. "But I think you can see, you know, there's a little anxiousness in there. But it's not the first time he's struggled, it's not the first time he's faced elimination. And it's not just Mookie, it's everyone that's got to do their part too."
Mookie Betts began the postseason strongly with six hits in his first two games and four hits across the NLDS against Philadelphia. Betts has since gone cold in the World Series, compiling three hits—all singles—in 23 at-bats, no RBIs, one run, and five strikeouts. The strikeout frequency contrasts with his regular-season 10.3 percent rate that ranked in the top 2 percent of MLB. The Dodgers produced only three runs across Games 4 and 5 and managed three hits against rookie Trey Yesavage in Game 5. Manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence that an off day and a focus on one game can help the team, including Betts, rebound for Game 6 in Toronto.
