As the odds are yet to be announced, keeping an eye on the evolving betting lines will be crucial. The odds will likely reflect the close competition between these two teams, both flaunting robust season records.
Gavin Stone (6-2, 2.9 ERA) vs. Nestor Cortes (3-4, 3.46 ERA)
Gavin Stone has been the surprise package for the Dodgers this season posting an impressive 2.9 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP over 62 innings. 47 strikeouts and 19 walks is good evidence of how great his control is and how few home runs he has given up (4). With Stone again pitching on the mound, the Rays will be put to a stern test against the Yankees’ line-up that has a reputation for being a power line-up in the MLB.
There is Nestor Cortes who has a slightly higher ERA of 3.46 but has a decent WHIP of 1.09 and 74 strikeouts in 75.1 innings. Nonetheless, his win-loss record is nothing to write home about, his isolation of the walks and his pitches to make batters uncomfortable will go a long way in this game.
When these two pitchers step out, then it becomes a very tactful battle of mice and cats. Stone’s low likelihood of allowing home runs will face the challenge of a Yankee’s team that hits the most televised home runs. On the other hand, Cortes will have to avoid giving a good hitting Dodger team. Their performances can easily set the tempo and maybe even be the deciding factor for the game.
Dodgers’ Dynamic Offense
The Dodgers batted a team average of .255 and clearly they both hit for average and power having 77 home runs, slugging percentage of .429. These features, along with their ability to be an offensive threat together with discipline at the plate (.333 OBP) put continuous pressure on the opposing pitcher.
Yankees’ Slugging and Pitching Superiority
Sharing the same team average with the Dodgers, the Yankees will win in slugging percentage with a high of .440 due to 92 home runs. Their hitters also stand to be boosted by a very good pitching team that they employ with an even better team ERA 2.75 and quite a meager team batting average allowed .208.
