Yankees vs Dodgers Odds, Picks & Predictions for Sunday Night Baseball (June 4)

The New York Yankees (34-25, 15-12 away) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (35-23, 20-8 home) will finish up a mammoth three-game set on Sunday Night Baseball between two of the most storied franchises in baseball. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:10 PM ET at Dodger Stadium. Read on for an analysis of Yankees vs Dodgers.

The visitors will be hoping Domingo German gives them a quality start here, while the Dodgers counter with rookie Bobby Miller, who is dominating since coming up to the big leagues.

Yankees vs Dodgers Odds

The Dodgers are a -145 favorite for an implied win probability of 59.18%. The Yanks come back at +125 and have a 44.44% chance of coming out victorious. It’s not every day these clubs meet either. In fact, this is just their third contest since 2019.

New York vs Los Angeles Probable Pitchers

German is actually pitching rather well for the Bronx Bombers in 2023, going 3-3 with a 3.98 ERA in 10 starts. He’s struck out 53 in 54.1 innings and walked 18. His 0.98 WHIP is perhaps the most impressive part of German’s early success.

Last time out, the right-hander lasted 6.1 frames against the Seattle Mariners but did allow four earned runs on seven hits, including a home run. In one career outing versus Los Angeles, German owns a 1.50 ERA.

German vs Miller Stats

With the Dodgers dealing with numerous pitching injuries, Miller got the opportunity to come up to the Majors and make his presence felt. Needless to say, he’s done just that. The 24-year-old is 2-0 with a fantastic 1.64 ERA in his first two MLB starts, striking out nine and walking just two in 11 total innings.

Miller made his debut against a potent Braves offense and held them to one earned in five innings en route to the win before tossing another six frames on May 29th against the Nationals, giving up a mere one run. He’s never faced Aaron Judge and the Yankees.

Yankees Betting Outlook

New York is currently third in the American League East and six games behind the first-place Rays. Their offense just got a major boost as well with the returns of Josh Donaldson and Giancarlo Stanton, two key cogs in their lineup.

After this Dodgers series, the Yanks return home for a four-game series with the White Sox before the Red Sox also come to town. With a 5-5 record in their last 10 games prior to Saturday, Aaron Boone’s squad needs to find some consistency.

Offense Carrying LA

The Dodgers have one of the best MLB lineups around and it’s a big reason they’re 12 games above .500 at the moment. They rank third in runs, second in slugging, and second in homers. Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts are leading the charge.

On the mound though, there’s been non-stop health issues. Outside of Clayton Kershaw and Tony Gonsolin, there isn’t a ton of reliability. If Miller keeps pitching this way it certainly helps and Julio Urias is also nearing a return.

Yankees vs Dodgers Predictions

I really like how Miller is throwing the baseball and he’s already faced a top-tier lineup in Atlanta. I expect the youngster to deal at home. Run with the Dodgers moneyline.
