Yankees vs Dodgers Prediction & Pick

The Yankees have a major pitching advantage in this Saturday night matchup. Gerrit Cole is among the early front runners for the AL Cy Young Award right now and while the Dodgers lineup is hot, his Yankees offense is going up against a struggling Grave.

Both Josh Donaldson and Giancarlo Stanton had big games in their first nights back in the lineup on Friday, Donaldson had two home runs, while Stanton had one himself. I expect the rest of the Yankees lineup to catch up tonight and put some serious runs on the board.

Final Score Prediction: Yankees: 7 | Dodgers: 3

Yankees vs Dodgers Best Bet

With the Yankees huge starting pitching advantage, you have to love them to get off to a hot start. Even if New York doesn't score a ton of runs early, Cole could very well blank the Dodgers through the first five innings. Los Angeles' lineup is a talented one, but Cole has been too good this year overall to not love his chance to put his team in the position to have the lead in the first half of the game.

Bet: First 5 Innings Moneyline: Yankees (-118)
