They Yankees may not be hitting well, but they are more than capable. With Anthony Rizzo, Judge, and Stanton in the same lineup, the Yankees are always a threat to score and go deep. Miller is not an easy pitcher to face, if the Yankees can sit on his fastball and drive it around the field, they will cover the spread.

Domingo German has a WHIP below 1.00. The Dodgers have been finding ways to get on base and drive in runs, but German does not really allow baserunners. If German can limit the baserunners like he has all season, the Yankees should have no problem covering this spread.

Bobby Miller has been great for the Dodgers in his first two big league starts. He has thrown 11 innings, allowed two runs on eight hits and struck out nine. Miller is quickly becoming one of the better pitchers in baseball with his mix of velocity and stuff. The Yankees are bottom half of the league in batting average and walks drawn, so they are a little bit free swining. If Miller can get the Yankees uncomfortable in the box and force them to expand the zone, the Dodgers will cover the spread.

This game should be close, but Bobby Miller is a very good pitcher. Maybe even better than German. The Dodgers should be able to take this game and the series while covering the spread.
