Dodgers vs Yankees Predictions & MLB Picks Today (6/7)

It’s safe to say that baseball enthusiasts have been waiting on this series for quite some time. These clubs are among the best that the Majors have to offer as the Dodgers currently rank second in the National League while the Yankees lead the American League as we navigate through June.

You’ll also find Los Angeles and New York near the top of most team statistics this season and a lot of that has to do with their respectively deep rosters. These are franchises that aren’t afraid to spend money to chase a championship, which has led to tonight’s matchup feeling like more than just a regular-season clash.

The Dodgers head into the tilt as the road favorites, but can they be trusted? As great as David Roberst’ club is, the Dodgers have dropped six of their last 10 away matchups with each of those losses coming against a team that currently owns a losing record.

Meanwhile, the Yankees are winners of eight in a row, having outscored those opponents by an average margin of 3.1 runs per contest. Additionally, the Bronx Bombers are on a five-game winning streak with a plus-4.0 average run margin at Yankee Stadium.

Can the Dodgers reverse their recent road fortunes? 

Nevertheless, the Yankees rarely lose when the odds are against them. They own an MLB-best 69.2% success rate as the underdog in 2024 and tonight’s game marks the first time that they’re underdogs at home this season.

A large part of the odds has to do with the Dodgers starting Yoshinobu Yamamoto tonight. The NL Cy Young challenger (+2500, T-10th on BetOnline) has been lights out to begin the season, going 6-2 with a 3.32 ERA in 12 starts. At the same time, he’s allowed four earned runs in each of his last two road games.

The Yankees, on the other hand, are turning to Cody Poteet yet again. The former 2015 fourth-rounder hasn’t looked out of place in New York’s rotation, tallying a 2-0 record with a 2.45 ERA and 10 strikeouts in his first two starts with the franchise.

Does Dodgers RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto have what it takes to handle the Yankees’ elite lineup? 

The Dodgers are a fantastic team that won’t go down without a fight, but I’m taking the Yankees here. New York has been tremendous at home and its dangerous batting order should challenge Yamamoto, who’s been just okay on the road. It’s going to be a back-and-forth affair, but the Yankees’ deep lineup combined with the home-field advantage should produce a win.

I will be taking the Under on the 9-run total, though. Not only is the Under 8-3 in LA’s last 11 games, but it’s 8-4 in the last 12 Dodgers-Yankees tilts. Those showdowns only saw an average of 6.7 runs per game.

With the way that both starters have been performing this season, I don’t expect to see a mind-blowing amount of offense.

Best Dodgers vs Yankees MLB Player Prop (6/7)

A matchup this big is littered with solid Dodgers vs. Yankees player prop betting options, including Yoshinobu Yamamoto o2.5 earned runs (+112).

While Yamamoto has been among the MLB’s best pitchers on most nights, he isn’t always perfect. The Japanese hurler has surrendered at least three earned runs in five of his first 12 starts, which includes each of his two previous road appearances. He’s also never faced the Yankees before and it won’t be easy given that they average 5.02 runs (4th) and 1.45 home runs (2nd) per game.

Unless he’s absolutely at the top of his game, there’s a decent chance that Yamamoto gives up a few runs tonight.
