After the way things had gone against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the preceding several days, the Los Angeles Dodgers were a little strange going into their three-game series against the New York Yankees. However, after two games, Los Angeles has defeated one of the best teams in baseball while playing on the road.
With ace Tyler Glasnow in the bullpen on Sunday, they will now be aiming for the sweep going into the game. In order for him to play versus New York, the team moved his start. From his time with the Tampa Bay Rays, Glasnow is very familiar with the Yankees, but his previous three starts haven’t gone as expected. Although he has appeared, the offense hasn’t helped him.
In his most recent piece, Bob Nightengale of USA Today noted that during his previous five starts, the Dodgers have not allowed him to score a single run. During those appearances, Glasnow has pitched to a solid 3.33 ERA, but he has been hurt by the offensive problems that Los Angeles has been facing lately.
The Dodgers will undoubtedly need to score some runs if they are to defeat New York and earn the sweep. The Yankees lineup is still very powerful and capable of some damage, even if star Juan Soto misses his third straight game. The Dodgers defeated the Yankees 11 runs on Saturday, and it appeared as though the bats were finally getting some attention. But if they were to depart Yankee Stadium while the brooms were out, It will be up to the Dodgers’ potent offense to demonstrate their abilities. Everything can start at the top of the lineup and work its way down to energize the lower half. The Bronx will make the first pitch at 4:10 p.m. PT.
