Recap: New York Yankees VS Los Angeles Dodgers 2025-05-31

The Bronx Bombers are looking to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Dodgers, and what better way to do that than by sending Ryan Yarbrough to the mound to face off against the Dodgers' ace, Yoshinobu Yamamoto? I mean, it's not like they're facing a juggernaut or anything... oh wait, they are. The Dodgers are riding high with a 36-22 record, including a 21-8 mark at home, and have been launching homers like they're going out of style, with 94 dingers on the year, tied with the Yankees for the league lead.

Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani are looking to keep their hot streaks going, and why wouldn't they? They're facing a Yankees team that's still reeling from their 2024 World Series loss and is looking to avenge their embarrassing 18-2 loss in the previous game. Aaron Judge and the Yanks are hoping to turn things around, but it won't be easy against a Dodgers team that's been dominating at home.

The Yankees do have a strong lineup, with 94 home runs of their own, so this one has all the makings of a high-scoring affair. But let's be real, the Dodgers have been on fire, and it's going to take a lot for the Yankees to cool them off. The Dodgers are looking to complete the sweep, and with their potent offense and strong pitching, it's hard to bet against them. The game starts at 7:10 PM EST, so grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy what promises to be an exciting matchup. Just don't expect the Yankees to go down without a fight... or at least, that's what Aaron Judge is hoping.
