Dodgers vs Yankees Prediction
I’m on the Yankees in this one. The Yankees let one slip away on Friday after taking an early lead, but I don’t think they’ll let that happen again here. Knack is not a reliable option in my opinion in this Dodger rotation, and Will Warren’s been outstanding in a lot of his recent outings. I think the Yankees get their revenge on the Dodgers here so I’ll side with the Yankees in this one.
