Game Preview
The New York Yankees return to Yankee Stadium for Game 3 of the World Series, facing a 2-0 deficit against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bettors are keenly watching to see if the Yankees can leverage home-field advantage to shift the momentum or if the Dodgers will tighten their grip on the championship.
Despite close contests in the first two games, the Yankees couldn’t capitalize on key opportunities, leaving them in a must-win situation. The Dodgers, meanwhile, are halfway to clinching their first World Series title in a full season since 1988. Shohei Ohtani, who suffered a partially dislocated left shoulder while attempting to steal second base in Game 2, is expected to play. His performance could significantly impact player prop bets and the overall betting line.
Los Angeles will send Walker Buehler to the mound for Game 3. Known for his postseason prowess, Buehler holds a 1-0 record with a stellar 0.69 ERA in two previous World Series starts. Bettors might find value in wagering on his strikeout totals or innings pitched. On the other side, the Yankees will start Clarke Schmidt, who is seeking his first postseason win. Schmidt hasn’t pitched since the ALCS, which could be a factor for those considering first-inning scoring bets.
Historically, teams that take a 2-0 lead in a best-of-seven World Series have gone on to win the championship 45 out of 56 times under the current 2-3-2 format. However, the Yankees have a history of overcoming such deficits, having done so in 1996, 1978, 1958, and 1956. This historical resilience might entice bettors to consider the Yankees as a value pick in the series odds.
Aaron Judge’s postseason struggles have continued; he’s batting 1-for-9 with six strikeouts in the series and 6-for-40 with 19 strikeouts overall in the playoffs. This slump could influence bets on his total bases or hits. Conversely, teammates Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton have been productive, combining for a .313 batting average with 10 home runs and 23 RBIs in the postseason. Their performances could be attractive options for over bets on hits or RBIs.
Freddie Freeman has been a catalyst for the Dodgers, hitting a walk-off grand slam in Game 1 and another homer in Game 2. His hot streak might make him a favorable option for home run or total base props. Additionally, Ohtani’s condition adds an element of uncertainty; if he’s close to full strength, he could be a game-changer, affecting both the outcome and various betting markets.
As the series shifts to New York, factors like team morale, player health, and historical trends become crucial for bettors analyzing the matchup. The Yankees aim to harness their home-field energy to stage a comeback, while the Dodgers look to move one step closer to a championship. Whether you’re considering moneylines, run totals, or player-specific wagers, Game 3 presents a myriad of betting opportunities shaped by both current form and historical context.
