Yankees at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Dodgers 5

Moneyline

Cole has allowed 11 runs (10 earned) in his last 2 starts. The Dodgers have scored 6 or more runs in 6 straight games.

Grove has only gotten out of the 4th inning once this season, leaving the Dodgers to rely on their bullpen with a 27th-ranked ERA in the league at 4.58.

The Yankees are 10-2 in Cole’s starts and have scored 6 or more runs in 4 of his last 5 outings.

BET YANKEES (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

Nine of the Yankees’ last 11 wins have been by at least 2 runs, and they are 32-27 ATS overall this season. The Dodgers are 34-24 ATS overall, and 3 of their last 6 losses have been by only 1 run.

The Dodgers are 8-3 ATS as the underdog this year, but betting the Yankees on the moneyline is a little more profitable than betting the Dodgers to cover.

PASS.
