2024 World Series: Predictions and odds for Dodgers vs. Yankees Game 5

Predictions for Dodgers vs. Yankees Game 5

Kevin Erickson, USA TODAY Sportsbook Wire: Yankees 5, Dodgers 3

“The Yankees are a good play behind Cole, as New York tries to force this series back to Southern California, extending its season. The Yankees were finally able to get some decent late-inning pitching work, while using the long ball to get their first victory in this series.”

Nicholas Martin, New York Post: Yankees win

“Will the Yankees offense get a spark from Tuesday’s big offensive breakout? It’s possible. While it was pretty irrelevant then, Aaron Judge had to feel good after recording just his second hit of the series. If the Yankees can find a way to send this series back to Los Angeles, chances are it means they took advantage of Flaherty early on and received a solid start from Cole because all of the Dodgers’ high-leverage arms should be ready to work. … A broad sample of work suggests Cole is still far superior to Flaherty, and these offenses grade out more comparably in the splits relative to this matchup.”

Justin Perri, Action Network: Yankees Moneyline

The Yankees “have every reason to be confident behind Gerrit Cole, and so do we. Even with a rested Dodgers bullpen, this game should be another prime spot for New York’s offense to lead the way without any doubt.”
