LA Dodgers vs New York Yankees Prediction

The Dodgers continue to find ways to win, and Buehler has a lot of playoff experience he can lean on in a big spot like this. I wouldn't talk you off the ledge if looking at the plus money. However, Buehler has also been a mess on the road this season, with a 6.53 ERA and .293 allowed batting average. I would assume the Yankees lineup will eventually start hitting, and coming home should help. Well, at least Judge, who battled .328 with 31 homers at Yankee Stadium this season. I also don't expect Ohtani to be 100 percent despite Roberts saying he's going to play. I'll back the Yankees in game 3.
