Dodgers vs. Yankees Game 5 Predictions

Kevin Erickson, USA TODAY Sportsbook Wire: Yankees 5, Dodgers 3

“The Yankees are a good game behind Cole as New York looks to push this series back to Southern California and extend its season. The Yankees were finally able to get some decent pitching work done late in the inning while taking advantage of the long ball to score their first win of the series.”

Nicholas Martin, New York Post: Yankees win

“Will the Yankees’ offense get a spark from Tuesday’s big offensive breakthrough? That is possible. While it was pretty irrelevant at the time, Aaron Judge had to be feeling good after recording only his second hit of the series. If the Yankees can find a way to send this back to Los Angeles, it likely means they took advantage of Flaherty early and got a solid start from Cole, as all of the Dodgers’ powerful arms should be ready to go… A wide range of work suggests that Cole is still far superior to Flaherty, and these attacks perform better in the splits compared to this match.

Justin Perri, Action Network: Yankees Moneyline

The Yankees “have every reason to be confident behind Gerrit Cole, and so do we. Even with a rested Dodgers bullpen, this game should be another prime spot for New York’s offense to take the lead without a doubt.”
