The New York Yankees, riding an eight-game winning streak fueled by explosive batting, will have Cody Poteet (2-0, 2.45 ERA) aiming for his third win of the season. In his major league return on the 2nd, Poteet secured a win against San Francisco with a performance of 3 runs on 3 hits over 5 innings, although he has a tendency to collapse suddenly. This will be his first home start of the season, and his goal will be to endure at least five innings. The Yankees' lineup, which scored 8 runs including Trent Grisham's two-run homer while decisively defeating Pablo López in the previous game, continues to showcase remarkable power at home. Their capability to capitalize on scoring chances is astonishing. Due to rain, the bullpen contributed 4.1 innings of scoreless pitching, complementing the team's explosive offense.
The LA Dodgers, who broke their losing streak with explosive batting, will have Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-2, 3.32 ERA) aiming for his seventh win of the season. Yamamoto shook off his road struggles to win his home start on the 2nd against Colorado, pitching 6 innings with 7 hits and 1 earned run. However, he has allowed 4 runs in each of his last two road starts, and how he manages these critical moments on the road will be crucial. The Dodgers' batting lineup, which scored 10 runs, including three homers in their last game, suggests their hitting form is returning on the road. Mookie Betts, who hit two homers with 3 RBIs, managed to compensate for his two defensive errors with his bat. Reliever Evan Phillips, who allowed a three-run homer, still seems not to be at full strength in terms of condition.
Both teams are currently in strong batting form.
The key in this match will be how well the pitchers can hold up. Poteet may struggle against the Dodgers, and Yamamoto has issues with sudden collapses on the road. However, the Yankees will have to play without Juan Soto, which could be a decisive factor. The LA Dodgers, with a better starter, appear closer to securing the win.
Expected Score: 6-5, LA Dodgers win
Handicap: New York Yankees win
Over/Under: Over
