Yankees at Dodgers – Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Moneyline: NY Yankees -130 | Total: 9.0
New York Yankees: On Fire and Out for Revenge
The Yankees are charging into this weekend’s marquee matchup with serious momentum, having gone 16-4 since May 6. Fresh off sweeping the Angels in Anaheim, their pitching silenced one of the league’s better offenses, allowing just three runs across three games.
Aaron Judge continues to torment opposing pitchers with 18 homers, 47 RBIs, and a league-leading 1.227 OPS. With the Yankees now winners of nine of their last 10, Judge is clearly in MVP form again. They’ll hand the ball to Max Fried (7-0, 1.29 ERA), who’s been nothing short of dominant this season. While he has an uneven record against the Dodgers (3-4, 3.18 ERA in 10 starts), this version of Fried looks untouchable.
Prop Pick (NYY): Aaron Judge Over 1.5 Total Bases – He’s on a tear and has feasted on National League pitching lately.
Los Angeles Dodgers: Star Power, But Health Issues Loom
Despite a star-studded lineup, the Dodgers have cooled off after their red-hot 8-0 start, going 26-22 since. Injuries have battered the rotation, with Snell, Glasnow, and Sasaki all sidelined. The bullpen is also overworked and banged up, with key arms like Graterol, Phillips, and Treinen still out.
Shohei Ohtani leads MLB with 20 home runs, pairing that with a 1.042 OPS and four long balls in his last four games. However, inconsistent relief and spotty pitching remain a concern. Tony Gonsolin (2-1, 4.68 ERA) gets the nod Friday, and while he looked sharp in his lone career start vs. New York, his recent form is shaky.
Prop Pick (LAD): Shohei Ohtani to Hit a Home Run – With the lights shining bright, expect Sho-Time to show up again.
Final Score Prediction
This feels like a statement series for the Yankees, who are healthy, red-hot, and hungry to avenge last year’s World Series loss.
Final Score Prediction: Yankees 6, Dodgers 4
Lean: NY Yankees RL -1.5 (+125)
Total: Over 9.0 (-110)
