Yankees vs Dodgers Predictions, Picks, Odds & Best Bets — World Series Game 2
Yankees Lose a Tough One in Game 1
The New York Yankees lost a tough one in Game 1 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night. The Yankees were defeated in a 4-2 game, with the Dodgers taking an early lead and never looking back.
The Dodgers scored two runs in the first inning off of Yankees starter Gerrit Cole, and added another run in the second inning. The Yankees got one run back in the third inning on a home run by Aaron Judge, but the Dodgers answered right back with a run of their own in the fourth inning.
Dodgers Look to Take an Early Series Lead
With the win, the Dodgers now have a 1-0 lead in the World Series. The Dodgers will look to take an early 2-0 lead in the series when they host the Yankees in Game 2 on Wednesday night.
The Yankees will need to bounce back in Game 2 if they want to avoid falling behind 2-0 in the series. The Yankees will send Jameson Taillon to the mound in Game 2, while the Dodgers will counter with Julio Urias.
Yankees Are Slight Favorites in Game 2
The Yankees are slight favorites in Game 2, with odds of -120 to win. The Dodgers are +100 underdogs in the game. The over/under for the game is set at 7 runs.
The Yankees have a slight edge in the pitching matchup in Game 2, with Taillon having a better ERA and WHIP than Urias. However, the Dodgers have a better offense, with a higher batting average and on-base percentage than the Yankees.
Prediction
I'm predicting the Yankees will win Game 2 and tie the series at 1-1. The Yankees have a better pitching matchup in the game, and they are due for a big offensive performance.
