LA Dodgers have returned to their winning ways after two back-to-back wins against the New York Yankees after losing the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1. One of the most anticipated series of this season, which many thought would be a close neck-to-neck battle ultimately seems to have turned out to be a one-sided contest with the Dodgers thrashing the Yanks to a 2-1 and 11-3 scorelines on Friday and Saturday respectively.
Dave Roberts would surely be happy with the results and would want them to extend their lead to complete the clean sweep against one of MLB's most formidable teams this season.
Aaron Boone, on the other hand, would surely look forward to turning things around for his team. The good news for his side is that their star player Juan Soto might probably be back on the plate to hit against the Dodgers on Sunday after being out on Saturday due to forearm inflammation.

Yankees vs Dodgers: Prediction
After two great shows of strength from the Dodgers, they are surely the favorites to win the third game of this series and clean sweep the Yankees. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernandez, Glasnow, and the rest of the team would surely try their utmost to repeat the two previous successes this time as well.
For the Yankees, it has been a tough series so far. Losing two back-to-back games must be very disappointing for a team like the Bronx Bombers and they would surely try to get on the winning track once again. If Juan Soto gets back on the lineup, it will surely help players like Aaron Judge, Marcus Stroman, Alex Verdugo, and the rest of the team raise their morale.
