Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions (2024)

The Los Angeles Dodgers (41-25) and New York Yankees (45-21) clash Sunday night as they wrap up a 3-game set in the Bronx. First pitch at Yankee Stadium is slated for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 2-0

Los Angeles won 2-1 in 11 innings Friday and then clobbered New York 11-3 Saturday. The Dodgers head into Sunday’s finale looking for a 3-game sweep and their 4th win a row.

In this series, the Yankees have gone just 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position. They are looking to avoid what would be just their 2nd 3-game losing streak of the season.

Dodgers at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Yankees 3

Moneyline

The mound foes in this one could well be the starters in the All-Star Game, but a slight nod goes to Glasnow, who has held current Yankee batters to an aggregate .563 OPS per ESPN. The Dodgers hurler has been exceptional away from Chavez Ravine, clocking a 1.66 ERA, 0.74 WHIP.

More so than Glasnow, Gil has had his tremendous numbers propped up by a low 6% rate of fly balls leaving parks as home runs, and he’s worked through the lighter traffic on the bases by way of a .178batting average on balls in play. That does not mean Gil isn’t a marvelous talent, just that when overrating game results by percentage points, his impact looms large.

The Dodgers are a lean but not a great return with this tag. The RL pricing looks more favorable. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Eight of the Dodgers’ last 9 wins have been by multi-run cushions. Over their last 3 series finales, the Dodgers are 3-0 and have outscored their opponents 25-10.

The weather forecast calls for an outward wind blowing to right-center, and Gil relies more on fly-ball outs.

MVP candidate Juan Sotohas missed the 1st 2 games of this series with a forearm injury, and his absence greatly affects the New York lineup. Even if he returns Sunday, he’s now dealing with timing issues after being out and is trying to do so against a prolific strikeout pitcher in Glasnow.

The return on the Dodgers is solid here. BACK LOS ANGELES -1.5 (+140).

Over/Under

The last 9 Yankees games have seen 7 Unders.

There is upward pressure in the long-term pitching/defense numbers for both sides and a bit more offense likely in the tank for LA. The price here is a good one.

BET THE OVER 7.5 (-115).
