New York Is Gaining Steam

New York is finally hitting their stride as they have lost just once over the last week. The Yankees dug themselves a deep hole to start the season, but they have gotten back into contention in the AL East and need a big June. Trailing the first place Rays by six games, the Yankees need to avoid losing this series in Los Angeles.

Luis Severino is set to make his third start of the season and he has been brilliant so far. Severino has posted a 1.59 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in 11.1 innings pitched.

Aaron Judge is doing his thing and leading the Yankees with 18 home runs and 39 RBIs. Anthony Rizzo is batting a team high .304.

The Los Angeles Dodgers Will Run Away with the Division Again

Los Angeles has been in good form of late and they have taken over first place in the NL West. Having won two of their last three series in May, the Dodgers enter June half a game ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL West. The Dodgers enter this series after winning two of three at home against Washington.

Clayton Kershaw is going to make his 12th start of the year and he’s having another great season. The veteran lefty has posted a 3.32 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 62.1 innings pitched.

Max Muncy is mashing this season as he leads the Dodgers with 17 home runs and 40 RBIs. Freddie Freeman is batting a team high .346.
