Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Yankees Prediction
The Dodgers are going to be favoured because they’re the Dodgers, but they’re also 1-6 in Sheehan’s last 7 games. Sheehan has a 4.81 ERA and 1.24 WHIP on the season, and he has a 5.05 ERA and .239 allowed batting average on the road. On the flip side, Weathers has a 4.15 ERA and 1.24 WHIP on the season, and he has a 4.10 ERA and .262 allowed batting average at home—two hittable pitchers and two lineups that can do damage. I expect crooked numbers in this game. Give me the over.
