Why bet on the New York Yankees?
It might seem a bit late, but the New York Yankees are still alive in the World Series, though they now face the daunting task of winning every remaining game to aim for their first MLB title in 15 years.
In Game 4, they found some spark in the lower part of their lineup, particularly with Anthony Volpe, who hit a grand slam in the third inning. Volpe and Austin Wells each had two hits, while Alex Verdugo drove in two runs.
However, the Yankees’ hopes again rely on their top hitters performing at their best, especially Aaron Judge, who managed a hit yesterday and drove in his first run of the World Series—a positive sign for the team.
Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton didn’t have their best showing, but they’ve carried the weight of the offense throughout the postseason.
Manager Aaron Boone will send his best pitcher to the mound for this game: right-hander Gerrit Cole, who had a strong outing in his previous start, pitching six innings, allowing just four hits and only one earned run. He didn’t get the win, as the bats weren’t timely that day.
Why bet on the Los Angeles Dodgers?
Los Angeles Dodgers still hold a 3-1 series lead, meaning they only need to win one more game to reclaim the World Series title, just as they did in 2020 against the Tampa Bay Rays.
There’s no doubt that Game 4 wasn’t their best showing, as they only made an impact early on with a home run from Freddie Freeman, after which the pitching fell apart for manager Dave Roberts.
Due to a number of injuries in their pitching staff, the Dodgers opted for a bullpen game that did not yield the desired results. However, in Game 5, the Los Angeles franchise will be able to rely on one of their best arms: Jack Flaherty.
The right-hander pitched in the first game of the World Series, going 5.1 innings, allowing five hits and two runs, while striking out six batters.
Having this arm is a guarantee, just like having Freeman in the lineup, who is currently the frontrunner for the World Series MVP award. He has hit four home runs and driven in 10 runs.
Behind Freeman are other powerful names like Mookie Betts, Tommy Edman, and Teoscar Hernández, all waiting for Shohei Ohtani to showcase his greatness at the plate.
Final Betting Analysis: Yankees vs. Dodgers
The Yankees took full advantage of the Dodgers relying on their bullpen throughout Game 4, but nowit’s time for Los Angeles to return to their starting rotation with Jack Flaherty. He will take the mound, aiming to guide Dave Roberts’ squad back to the throne as champions.
