The Dodgers are coming into this game with a 39-25 record this season but they have not been great in their recent games. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games as they lost their series against the Pirates and their pitching has not been good in these. They have allowed 17 runs against the Pirates in their last 2 games and now they are going to be taking on the best offense in the league right now, still playing on the road where they have struggled more this season compared to being at home. They are going up against a Yankees team that is 45-19 this season and they have been heating up in their recent games. They have won their last 8 straight games and their offense has been on fire in these. They have scored at least 5 runs in each of their last 7 games as well as scoring at least 7 runs in 4 of their last 5, scoring 8+ runs in each of their last 2 games as well. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is starting for the Dodgers in this game and he is 6-2 with a 3.32 ERA this season. He pitched well in his last start as he only gave up 1 earned run, but that was also against the Rockies who do not have a great offense. He has also allowed at least 4 earned runs in 2 of his last 4 starts, both of those being his last 2 road starts as well, and he has not pitched a start which he allowed no runs in his last 5 starts. He has been a good starter this year for a rookie but this is going to be a big test for him against one of the best lineups in the game right now, and he is getting them at the worst time with the runs the Yankees have been scoring recently. Cody Poteet is starting for the Yankees in this game and he is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA this season. He has only had 2 starts this season but he pitched at least 5 innings in each and has not allowed more than 2 earned runs in either. The Yankees also scored at least 7 runs in both of those games that he started in and they have a more trustworthy bullpen to lean on than the Dodgers do. The Yankees are hot right now and they are going to win this game at home.
