Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Yankees Prediction
You don’t get the Dodgers at prices this soft, so I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if you’re looking in this direction. However, Sasaki has a 5.33 ERA and 1.36 WHIP on the season, and he has a 6.25 ERA and .252 allowed batting average in 36 innings on the road. No, thanks. Cole is slowly finding his footing, and that includes allowing 12 hits and 5 runs in his last 11.1 innings. In 22.1 innings at Yankee Stadium, Cole has a 3.22 ERA and a .195 allowed batting average. The Dodgers are also in a funk overall right now. The Bronx will be a zoo for this series. Give me the Yankees and the even money.
