Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Yankees Prediction

I’m on the under in both games. It’ll be interesting to see how game two plays out, but I think it could end up being a bit of a duel in both games. Game one has all the makings of a heavyweight pitcher’s duel with Yamamoto against Schlittler, and I think Sunday night baseball adds a dynamic of low-scoring ball so give me the under in both games.
