In this article, we will formulate a NY Yankees vs LA Dodgers Prediction for MLB World Series game 3 on Tuesday, October 28th, at Dodger Stadium.
Must Win for the Yankees
This isn’t an elimination game, but if the Yankees lose this game, their season is all but over. The Yankees lost the first game, and in the last game they had the bases loaded in the 9th inning, but they still couldn’t make the plays and ended up losing 4-2. Carlos Rodon really struggled early, going 3.1 innings, giving up six hits and four runs. Even though he struggled, the bullpen did find success, and that bullpen is going to need to be good again here. Juan Soto has had a strong playoffs, and he hit a home run and drove in an RBI also.
Getting the start for the Yankees will be Clarke Schmidt, who has gone 0-0 and sits with an ERA of 3.86. In his last appearance against the Cleveland Guardians, he went 4.2 innings, giving up five hits and two runs.
Dodgers in Firm Control
The Dodgers know they are in firm control of the World Series, but a loss here lets the Yankees right back into the series. In the first game the Dodgers were able to secure the 6-3 victory and in the last game they were able to secure the 4-2 victory. Yoshinbou Yamomoto started and went 6.1 innings, giving up one hit and one run. Teoscar Hernandez hit a home run and drove in two RBIs. Shohei Ohtani was injured in Game 2, but he’s healthy and is going to be able to go in this game. His injury was a big scare, but it appears they dodged a bullet with the injury.
Getting the start for the Dodgers will be Walker Buehler, who sits with an 0-1 record and an ERA of 6.00. In his last start against the New York Mets, he went four innings, giving up three hits and zero runs.
Why the Dodgers Will Beat the Mets
- The Dodgers have won each of their last nine Monday night road games.
- The Yankees have lost three of their last four games as favorites against National League opponents.
- The Dodgers have covered the run line in each of their last seven playoff games after not playing the previous day.
- The Yankees have failed to cover the run line in six of their last seven night playoff games after not playing the previous day.
NY Yankees vs LA Dodgers Prediction
Give me the Dodgers here. The Yankees return home, but there is no confidence in them, and they are going to really struggle here. Walker Buehler sure looked good in the last game against the Mets, and the Yankees’ bats are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The Dodgers might not run up the score, but they are going to only need three or four runs here, and they will get that. Back the Dodgers on the money line.
