Dodgers vs Yankees Prediction

I don’t care who is on the mound for the Yankees, the Dodgers offense is rolling and it’s hard to imagine that anyone is going to slow them down. Yarbough has been good, but we saw what the Dodgers did on Saturday. The ball was flying out of the ballpark, and it’s going to be quite the show again here. It also helps that Yamamoto is on the mound and he been impressive sitting with an ERA of 1.97. The Yankees’ bats are going to be ice cold, and the Dodgers will get the job done. Back the Dodgers.
