Yoshinobu Yamamoto runs into problems quickly as Yankees thwart Dodgers sweep
Dave Roberts downplayed the easy narrative on Sunday afternoon. 'No,' he said when asked if his Dodgers had the New York Yankees' proverbial number, having followed up their defeat of the Bronx Bombers in last year's World Series with two impressive wins to start this weekend's rematch at Dodger Stadium. 'I think we've had their number the last two nights,' Roberts said, 'but today's a different day.' Was it ever. Twenty-four hours after a total annihilation of the Yankees in an 18-2 rout on Saturday, the Dodgers suffered the kind of setback that has so often plagued them this season, squandering the chance to build momentum in a 7-3 loss that prevented a series sweep. For as complete a performance as the Dodgers (36-23) put together Saturday, they looked equally out of sorts in a Sunday Night Baseball finale, getting a rare bad start from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, mistakes on defense and base paths that cost them early runs, and virtually nothing from a lineup that looked largely discomobulated against funky left-hander (and former Dodger) Ryan Yarbrough. They might have come out of the weekend with a marquee series win, continuing to nurse a narrow lead in the National League West standings. But, they invited more scrutiny over their inconsistent start to the season with a finale flop. Yamamoto had been the one constant in the Dodgers' injury-plagued rotation. His 1.97 earned-run average was second in the NL. His 64 innings not only led the team, but were almost twice as many as anyone else besides Dustin May. Yamamoto had an impressive track record against the Yankees (36-22), too, shutting them out over seven innings in New York last June before delivering 6 ⅓ innings of one-run ball in Game 2 of the World Series. On Sunday, however, he couldn't consistently find the strike zone or execute his trademark splitter. And after scoring just two runs in their previous 15 innings in this series, the Yankees finally came to life at the plate. In the first, Trent Grisham singled and Ben Rice walked before Jason Domínguez dumped a line drive into left, driving in a run when Andy Pages airmailed his throw to home plate. In the third, a leadoff walk to Judge was followed by a two-run homer to Rice — Yamamoto missing badly with two splitters in the first at-bat before leaving one hanging in the next. Later in the frame, the Yankees scored again after Yamamoto gave up two singles and spiked a splitter for a run-scoring wild pitch. And with two outs in the fourth, Roberts was walking to the mound to pull Yamamoto, his pitch count having ballooned to 96 on a day he gave up a season-high in hits (seven) and walked three others. It was the first time this year that Yamamoto, whose ERA rose to 2.39, had failed to complete the fifth. The Dodgers faltered in other ways on Sunday, as well. After his first-inning throwing error, Pages made a mistake on the bases in the second inning. Following a one-out double, he was thrown out on an over-aggressive steal of third. That meant that when Tommy Edman homered moments later –– his first long ball in 17 games, snapping him out of a recent funk at the plate –– it was only a solo blast, temporarily tying the game before the Yankees answered in the next half-inning. There would be no counter-punch from there out of the Dodgers' offense, which was missing Mookie Betts for a third-straight game because of a toe fracture (Betts said pregame his toe was starting to feel better, and went through pregame activities in hopes of avoiding a stint on the injured list). Instead, Yarbrough cruised against the team that dealt him away at last year's trade deadline. Even though he never hit 90 mph with his fastball, he induced a string of soft contact while striking out five in a six-inning start. Yarbrough was especially effective against the top of the Dodgers' order, which went a combined 0-for-16 on the day. The Dodgers did show some life after Yarbrough's exit in the seventh, with Pages and Max Muncy each taking reliever Jonathan Loáisgia deep within the space of three at-bats. But by then, it was much too little, much too late –– resulting in the Dodgers' second-straight series in which they failed to complete a sweep, and yet another momentum-halting loss in a season that continues to be plagued by a few too many of them.

This means that you should examine many markets within DraftKings Sportsbook to find one that you think has a good chance of winning. It might be exciting to bet on Yankees-Dodgers, which is the biggest game of the day. However, it is also wise to look into all of the matchups and perhaps avoid simple moneyline or spread bets altogether. Some prop bets might be more likely to settle as a win. You could look into the various prop bets available, like strikeout totals or players to record a hit. Many of these markets are adjustable. For example, you could make Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto's strikeout total lower. This will result in a lower payout with worse odds, but that does not matter here. All that you want is to find the market that is most likely to settle as a win for your $5 bet. Once you find a market you are comfortable with, place the $5 wager and wait for it to settle. If it wins, you will receive your $300 bonus.
