Dodgers vs. Yankees Best Bets, Predictions and Picks

Jazz Chisholm to Record 2+ Hits/Runs/RBI (+100)

There are some air-quality issues today, but assuming the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees play, I like Jazz Chisholm’s matchup versus Roki Sasaki.

Jazz is having a down year — there’s no other way to say it. But he crushed it in this split in 2025, racking up a .387 wOBA and 51.7% fly-ball rate at home against RHPs. Despite his issues this season, Chisholm still has pop and is a lefty playing at Yankee Stadium.

Sasaki is starting to show flashes, but he’s still got a huge gopher-ball problem, giving up 2.11 homers per nine this year. Yankee Stadium probably won’t help him there. He’s also permitting a 42.1% fly-ball rate to left-handed hitters.

I think Jazz will pick it up over the second half, and I’m a fan of these even-money odds on him to produce two-plus H/R/RBI today.

Gerrit Cole Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140)

Gerrit Cole’s swing-and-miss stuff hasn’t fully returned, and I’m backing him to go under 5.5 strikeouts.

Through his first 49 innings since coming back from injury, Cole has mustered a 7.9% swinging-strike rate, a very low mark. In addition to that, the Yanks have been understandably cautious with Cole’s workload, letting him surpass 90 pitches only once over his previous four starts, which limits Cole’s K upside.

Add in the matchup with LA, a team that has the sixth-lowest strikeout rate, and Cole should have a tough time getting to six Ks in this series opener.
