PREVIEW
The Yankees and Dodgers clash in Game 2 of the 2024 World Series at Dodger Stadium on Saturday night. The Dodgers lead the series 1-0 after a thrilling 10-inning win in Game 1, thanks to Freddie Freeman’s grand slam that sealed a 6-3 victory.
In Game 2, the Yankees turn to Carlos Rodon (16-9, 3.96 ERA / 1-1, 4.40 postseason ERA), while the Dodgers counter with Yoshinobu Yamamoto (7-2, 3.00 ERA / 1-0, 5.10 postseason ERA).
Despite left-handed sluggers like Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Max Muncy, the Dodgers have excelled against lefty pitching in the postseason, hitting close to .300.
Yamamoto has also hit his stride, allowing only two runs across his last two outings and fanning ten batters in 9.1 innings.
On the flip side, Rodon has struggled on the road this season with a 4.40 ERA, making consistency a concern for New York.
The Dodgers, who are 4-2 at home in the playoffs and went 52-29 at Dodger Stadium during the regular season, will look to extend their winning ways before the series shifts to the Bronx.
