New York Yankees Still Playing Catch Up
New York is a scarry team right now, but they still have plenty of ground to make up from the combination of their bad April and the Rays historic April. The Yankees will go for a series win in Dodger Stadium and will make a statement if they do so. New York enters Sunday third in the AL East and six games back of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Aaron Judge is still mashing this season as he leads New York with 19 home runs and 40 RBIs. Anthony Rizzo is batting a team high .297 this season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers Are in a Battle
Los Angeles is making a habit of winning series of late, and they need to be doing so as they are in a NL West battle. The Dodgers lost just two series in May, and they will look to start off June with another series victory. Los Angeles is tied at the top of the NL West with the upstart Arizona Diamondbacks.
Bobby Miller is going to make his third career start and it has been a nice start to his career. Miller has posted a 1.64 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in 11.0 innings pitched.
