The Los Angeles Dodgers (41-25) look to complete the series sweep over the New York Yankees (45-21) in Game 3 on Sunday, June 9 at 7:00 PM ET at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York. The Dodgers have a slight moneyline lead at -125.
The Dodgers have won their last three games heading into this matchup, with their latest defeat being an 11-3 blowout. This marked the second time in three games that the Dodgers have scored 11 runs.
They will send Tyler Glasnow (6-4) to start on the mound here. He has an ERA of 2.93 and a WHIP of 0.90. Their team ERA is 3.25, which shows that his start will be crucial to their success.
The Dodgers' Mookie Betts leads them with a .311 batting average, while Teoscar Hernandez leads with 15 homers and 37 RBIs. Together, they pack a punch at the plate and will be key to staying on attack offensively.
Their batting average is .256, and they are allowing just .218 in return. The two averages are excellently separated. If they can stay strong offensively, this should easily favor them.
The Yankees have lost their last two games and are now 3-2 over their previous five. They needed to provide more offense in the last two matchups but ultimately gave up too many runs to combat.
They are starting Luis Gil (8-1)on the mound. He currently boasts a 1.82 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP. He has a competitive advantage over Glasnow, which should be interesting to watch. They also have a 2.88-team ERA.
They still need Juan Soto, who leads them offensively with a.318 batting average. Aaron Judge is leading with 23 homers and 57 RBIs, but it won't be easy to contribute what Soto brings. Can supporting players make a difference in this one?
The Yankees have a .254 batting average and only allow .208 from opponents. While this is appealing, not having Soto in the lineup could dampen things. They must find ways to stimulate their offense without one of their key contributors.
MyBookie has the betting options for this MLB showdown, with the Dodgers slightly favored. According to market insights, the Dodgers have a 47.2 percent chance of winning.
The biggest differences for this game will be pitching and Soto's injury. The Yankees have an edge here but have been stagnant offensively without Soto. Look for the Dodgers to capitalize on their injury problem.
