Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Yankees Picks and Prediction
Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Yankees Pick
- Pick: New York Yankees Moneyline
I am taking New York on the moneyline because the Yankees have won four of their last five games and have the stronger starting-pitcher ERA for Sunday. Their probable starter owns a 2.05 ERA with 137 strikeouts across 118.2 innings. Los Angeles won the recent meeting and holds the better overall statistical profile, but New York has the lower team ERA and more home runs. With the Yankees playing at home and carrying the better recent record, I favor them to answer with a narrow victory.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Yankees Total Pick
- Pick: Under 7.5
Take the under if the total is set at 7.5. I am selecting the under because the probable starters enter with ERAs of 2.85 and 2.05 and WHIPs below 1.00. The recent meeting produced only three combined runs, while both pitching staffs own ERAs below 3.55. New York has held five consecutive opponents to four runs or fewer, and Los Angeles just limited the Yankees to one run. Those pitching numbers support another controlled game.
Final Score Prediction: New York Yankees 3 – Los Angeles Dodgers 2
