Betting Odds: Dodgers ML (+105) - Over/Under (8.5)
Pick: Dodgers ML (+105)
The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees will play the second game of a three game weekend series here on Saturday night in the Bronx. These two teams have been two of the top teams and all of baseball throughout the early part of the season and a lot of people have predicted them to meet in the World Series this year as well. So this could be an early preview of the fall classic all things out for both Los Angeles and New York throughout the remainder of the season. Regardless of where they end up at the end of year, that should be a solid series throughout the weekend and game two should be just as exciting as the opening game on Friday night.
The Los Angeles Dodgers came into the 2024 Major League Baseball as clear favorites to win the World Series after signing Shohei Ohtani over the offseason. Los Angeles has been solid throughout the first few months of the season, and they currently lead the National League West division coming into the middle of June, but they have had some struggles along the way. With issues arising both on and off the field at various times throughout the first couple months of the season. Los Angeles comes into this game with a stronghold on the division and one of the best records in the National League.
They will look to increase their lead with a solid performance here on Saturday night against the New York Yankees. Gavin Stone gets the ball for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the middle game of this series, and he is putting together a solid season so far. He comes into this game with a record of 6-2 on the year, and he will look to pick up his seventh victory of the season. He has been solid at shutting down opposing offenses, as he currently has a 2.90 Earned Run Average. He will look to lower that number against a dangerous Yankee lineup in a hitter's ballpark.

The New York Yankees are off to a fast start this season, and they are on top of perhaps the best division in all baseball. They will further extend their lead in the American League East division with an impressive performance in the middle game of this series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night at home. The New York Yankees will have the advantage being at home in this series, but they have to deal with a rather deadly Los Angeles lineup playing in a very friendly hitters park. This game could end up being a pretty high scoring contest unlike the previous game in this series l.
Nestor Cortes will get the ball for the New York Yankees here on Saturday and he will look to lead the Bronx Bombers to a much needed win. It was a tough loss in extra innings during the opening game of the series for New York and they will need to bounce back and even up the series before heading into the finale on Sunday. After limiting the Dodgers offense to only a couple runs, Cortes will look to replicate that performance, but hopefully get some more runs support from his offense. He comes into this start with a record of 3-4 on the season and he will be searching for his fourth win of the year.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Los Angeles is 24-15 after a win
- Los Angeles is 18-13 on the road
- Los Angeles is 6-1 against teams above .500
I expect this to be a close and competitive matchup between two of the top teams and Major League Baseball here on Saturday night. This should be a back-and-forth game with a solid pitching matchup on tap, for the middle game of this three game weekend series between the Dodgers and Yankees. In the end, I look for the Los Angeles Dodgers to grab the victory on the road at Yankee Stadium in game number two of the series.
