Dodgers vs. Yankees Game 2: What to Expect
Game 1 saw the Yankees overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a tight, back-and-forth game. The Dodgers will be looking for revenge in Game 2, hoping to regain home-field advantage.
Key Matchups:
- Gerrit Cole vs. Clayton Kershaw: Two of the game's best pitchers will be facing off. Cole, the Yankees ace, was dominant in Game 1, striking out 9 in 6 innings. Kershaw, a veteran and a Dodgers legend, will be looking to match Cole's intensity.
- Aaron Judge vs. the Dodgers bullpen: Judge was held in check in Game 1, but remains a potent threat. The Dodgers bullpen, which struggled in the late innings of Game 1, will need to find a way to contain Judge and the rest of the Yankees' powerful lineup.
What to watch for:
- The Dodgers' offense: After scoring 3 runs in Game 1, the Dodgers will need to find their offensive rhythm. Can they get to the Yankees' bullpen early?
- The Yankees' defense: The Yankees made a few crucial defensive plays in Game 1. Can they maintain that level of play in Los Angeles?
- The atmosphere: Dodger Stadium is known for its passionate fans. The energy will be electric for Game 2, and it could be a factor for both teams.

The Dodgers are a formidable team at home. Expect a tight contest, but with the momentum shifting back to the Dodgers, they will look to even the series with a strong performance.
