Yankees vs. Dodgers: Pitching Matchups
Left-handed pitcher Nestor Cortes Jr. will be sent to the mound to deal with the boys in blue. He has a 3-4 record with a 3.46 ERA. With enough support from the plate, Cortes should be able to get through six innings. He has a 1.09 WHIP with 74 strikeouts in 75.1 innings pitched.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, will deliver Gavin Stone to the mound as their starting pitcher. Stone has been incredible for his team, with a 6-2 record and a 2.90 ERA. In 62 innings pitched, the righty has recorded 47 strikeouts and holds a 1.90 WHIP.
Yankees vs Dodgers: Prediction
The Dodgers should be no match for the Yanks, with Cortes on the mound. When compared to Stone, Cortes has more experience in pitching. The left-hander seems to have a better chance of making it past the opponent's offense.
The Yanks will need to focus on striking out top offensive players. If Cortes pushes through six innings, the bullpen should secure a victory. As for the Dodgers, they failed to score against Cody Poteet in Game 1, so going up against Cortes is going to be a challenge.
