Yankees vs Dodgers Prediction

The Dodgers won eight of the previous ten H2H encounters, including six of the last seven. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is on fire this season, and he is the biggest reason I am going with the Dodgers to get the win. Ryan Yarbrough had a great last month, and I have to admit, he pleasantly surprised me, but I don’t think he will have a good time on Sunday. The Dodgers’ batters are on fire right now, and I am backing the hosts to score multiple runs off Yarbrough. Back the hosts to win.
