Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Yankees betting picks and predictions
Los Angeles Dodgers ML (-110)
Along with owning the best record in baseball, the Dodgers have been the best road team in MLB this season. Los Angeles leads the league with 62 total wins this season, and its 31 road wins are the most in baseball.
After taking the first game of this series on Friday night, the Dodgers are in another strong position to find the win column on Saturday night.
The Dodgers have mashed left-handed pitching all season long, and they are set to face a lefty in this one.
New York’s Ryan Weathers will toe the rubber, and he enters this matchup with a 4.15 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 97.2 innings of work. He is set to face a Dodgers lineup that owns a .756 OPS against southpaws, which ranks sixth in baseball. Weathers will undoubtedly have his hands full with Los Angeles’ veteran lineup.
Along with finding consistent success against lefties, the Dodgers have also been an elite hitting team when playing on the road. Los Angeles owns a team batting average of .276 and an OPS of .811 on the road, both of which lead MLB.
Furthermore, they’ve blasted 64 home runs in 48 road games, and now they get to face a lefty at one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks out there.
The Dodgers are the team to back in this one.
Over 9.0 (+100)
As previously mentioned, the Dodgers have thrived both against left-handed pitching and on the road this season. With Weathers on the mound for New York, Los Angeles seems to be in an ideal position to do plenty of damage at the plate.
The Yankees could also be in a great position to find plenty of offensive success as well. Los Angeles starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan hasn’t been great on the road, as his ERA sits at 5.05 away from Dodger Stadium.
Sheehan has also struggled with preventing the long ball on the road. He’s given up just six home runs in 10 starts at home, but has surrendered nine home runs in seven starts on the road.
Even without Aaron Judge in the lineup, the Yankees are capable of taking advantage of their opportunities and leaving the yard. New York has hit 70 home runs in 44 home games this season, which ranks fifth in all of baseball.
All in all, both offenses seem to be in strong positions to have solid nights at the plate. With a total of 9.0, look to the over.
