The Los Angeles Dodgers, currently leading 2-0, will face the New York Yankees in the Bronx for Game 3 of the World Series. The Yankees, with the home-field advantage for the next three games, are determined to turn the tide. The Dodgers will rely on Walker Buehler (5.38 ERA) on the mound, while the Yankees will counter with Clarke Schmidt (2.85 ERA).
Pitching Matchup: Buehler has experienced difficulty throughout the season and postseason, accumulating a 6.00 ERA. Despite being less dominant, Schmidt has been more consistent with a 2.85 ERA. Nevertheless, both players have allowed two earned runs in their respective playoff debuts.
Offensive Showcase: Freddie Freeman is leading the race for the World Series MVP award, with five RBIs and two home runs in just two games. However, the Yankees are in dire need of Aaron Judge’s contributions. With only one hit in nine at-bats, Judge’s slow start is a cause for concern. His MVP season suggests a potential recovery, but the pressure is on.
Bet: The Yankees are the clear favorites to secure the third game, despite the Dodgers’ early advantage. They are the preferred team due to their home-field advantage and the necessity to prevent a 3-0 deficit. Bet: The New York Yankees prevailed.
