LA Dodgers vs NY Yankees Prediction 10-26-24 MLB Picks

In this article, we will formulate an LA Dodgers vs NY Yankees prediction for this MLB game on Saturday, October 26th at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Let’s take a look at the prediction for game two of the World Series.

LA Dodgers Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers were able to escape with a 6-3 win in extra innings in game one of this series to take a 1-0 lead. LA took a 1-0 lead in the fifth, but they needed a sac fly in the eighth to force extra innings before Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off grand slam. Los Angeles was able to scatter 10 hits by the Yankees and they used six pitchers in the big win. Prior to this series, the Dodgers defeated the Mets in six games in the NLCS and defeated the Padres in five games in the NLDS. 


The Los Angeles pitching staff had a 3.90 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP, and a .235 opponent batting average this year. The Dodgers’ offense scored 842 runs with a .258 batting average and a .335 on-base percentage during the regular season. Shohei Ohtani hit .310 with 54 home runs and 130 RBIs for the Dodgers this season. 

NY Yankees Betting Preview

The New York Yankees had plenty of chances to pick up the win in game one on Friday night, but they ended up losing and now trail 1-0 in the series. New York took a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning, but they allowed the Dodgers to tie the game in the eighth. The Yankees answered with one run in the top of the tenth inning, but they ran into trouble in the bottom half of the inning. New York ended up bringing in Nestor Cortez, which was an odd choice, and he allowed the game-winning grand slam on the first pitch to Freeman. Prior to this series, the Yankees defeated the Guardians in five games and defeated the Royals in four games.

The New York pitching staff had a 3.74 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, and a .233 opponent batting average in the regular season. The Yankees’ offense scored 815 runs with a .248 batting average and a .333 on-base percentage this year. Aaron Judge hit .322 with 58 home runs and 144 RBIs for the Yankees this season. 

Starting Pitchers

The projected starting pitcher for Los Angeles is Yamamoto, who is 1-0 with a 5.11 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP over 12.1 innings pitched this postseason. Yamamoto has allowed two earned runs in his last 9.1 innings of work but did allow five earned runs against the Padres in his first postseason start. The projected starting pitcher for New York is Carlos Rodon, who is 1-1 with a 4.40 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP over 14.1 innings pitched this postseason. Rodon has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts but did allow four earned runs in his first postseason start against KC.

LA Dodgers vs NY Yankees Prediction 

Los Angeles comes into this game with a ton of momentum after their walk-off win on Friday night, and they will look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead here. The Dodgers’ offense has scored at least six runs in five straight games and continues to be red-hot during this postseason. New York left plenty of runners on base in game one and just couldn’t come up with a timely hit. I think the Dodgers have the advantage with Yamamoto on the mound and I like them to win game two.
