Yankees vs Dodgers Prediction & Pick

After a 15-15 start to their season, the Yankees have been red-hot over the past month, going 20-10 dating back to June 2. They've been outstanding on the road during that stretch as well, going 10-5 away from Yankee Stadium.

New York will look to keep it up behind Domingo German, who checks in with a 3-3 record, a 3.98 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. German has played a big part in the Yankees' turnaround with a 2.54 ERA over his last five starts.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers will counter with rookie Bobby Miller, who is making only his third career start. The 24-year-old former first-round pick has looked sharp over his first two outings with a 1.64 ERA and 9 strikeouts in 11 innings.

Miller may struggle against New York's potent lineup, however, which ranks fourth in MLB in home runs. Look for the Yankees to win behind their more experienced arm.

Final Score Prediction: Yankees: 4 | Dodgers: 3

Yankees vs Dodgers Best Bet

While German started the season strong in the strikeout department, he's cooled off lately in that regard. He's managed just 9 strikeouts in 15 innings over his last three outings combined against the formidable lineups of Tampa Bay, Toronto and Seattle. LA has an extremely dangerous offense as well and could send German to an early shower, so bank on him hitting the Under on his K prop for the fourth start in a row.

Bet: Domingo German UNDER 4.5 Strikeouts (-122)
