Freeman homers for third straight game
Freddie Freeman homered for a third straight game as the Dodgers bested the Yankees 4-2 to take a 3-0 lead in the World Series on Monday. Freeman, who struggled in the NLDS and NLCS while dealing with a sprained ankle, has now homered in his last five World Series games, having gone deep twice in the Braves’ championship in 2021. He’s totaled 13 homers in 60 career postseason games. The Dodgers will try to close out the World Series on Tuesday. They’re planning to ride the pen in Game 4, while the Yankees will start Luis Gil.
Yankees’ only offense comes from Verdugo’s bat
Alex Verdugo hit a two-run homer to supply the scoring in the Yankees’ loss to the Dodgers on Monday. The Yankees were down to their last out when Verdugo put them on the board in the bottom of the ninth. It was Verdugo’s first homer since Sept. 26. He’s gone 7-for-41 this postseason, though he has managed seven RBI in 12 games.

Dodgers vs. Yankees MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take Los Angeles. Stick a fork in the Yankees because they’re done. I backed them in Game 1 when they choked away a victory and decided to back them in the first five innings of Game 2 when they were routed. Last night, I went with a Shohei Ohtani prop, which did not hit, so I’m much like the Yankees in this series: o’fer.
That said, I don’t see how they climb back into this one. They had the starting pitching advantage at the start of the series but that hasn’t mattered. Their bullpen sucks and their offense has dried up. Aaron Judge picked a bad time to have his bat go cold. They’re finished. Give me the plus odds with the underdog Dodgers.
