Yankees vs Dodgers – Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Moneyline: LA Dodgers -165 | Total: 9.0
Los Angeles Dodgers (First in NL West)
The Dodgers are on a mission to complete a sweep of their crosstown rivals and wrap up their all-New York homestand with flair. They torched the Yankees 18-2 on Saturday in a game that looked more like Home Run Derby than competitive baseball. Max Muncy went deep twice, crossing the 200-career homer threshold, while Pages, Rushing, and Kim all joined the long-ball party. Oh, and Mookie Betts? He was resting a broken toe and they still hung 18 runs.
Now comes the ace: Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-3, 1.97 ERA) takes the hill. He’s had the Yankees’ number ever since last June’s 7-inning shutout and his World Series gem. After dominating Cleveland earlier this week, don’t expect a letdown here. Look for the Dodgers’ offense to stay hot and Yamamoto to keep the Yankees off balance.
Dodgers Player Prop: Max Muncy Total Bases – Over 1.5 – He’s locked in and crushing mistakes. With Yankee pitching reeling, he could cash this early.
New York Yankees (First in AL East)
Things are getting ugly in the Bronx. Saturday’s beatdown wasn’t just a loss it was a meltdown. The Yankees surrendered 21 hits, trailed 10-0 after two innings, and looked utterly helpless without an answer for the Dodgers’ offense. Even Aaron Judge’s two homers were just a footnote in a game that got away fast.
They’ll send former Dodger Ryan Yarbrough (2-0, 3.06 ERA) to the mound a soft-throwing lefty who knows this LA lineup well but hasn’t faced them directly. He’ll try to limit damage and keep this from turning into another Hollywood horror show.
Yankees Player Prop: Aaron Judge Total Hits + Runs + RBIs – Over 2.5 – He’s the one Yankee still doing damage. If anyone’s going to make noise, it’s the Captain.
Betting Outlook & Prediction
LA’s bats stay hot, Yamamoto dazzles, and the Yankees limp into Monday’s Mets series with a broom in the rearview.
Final Score Prediction: Dodgers 7, Yankees 3
Lean: LA Dodgers RL -1.5 (+125)
Total: Over 9.0 (-105)
