The New York Yankees find themselves down 0-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the big dance but return home tonight to the Bronx for game 3, game 4 and 5, if necessary. The Yankees should have come out of LA with a split but didn’t. Due to Aaron Boone’s inept managing skills, they are in a hole, but they are not done yet. This is a must win game for the Bombers and they know it and will hold nothing back. Walker Buehler is expected to get the nod for the Dodgers and if Aaron Judge is going to break out of his slump it will be tonight. Since having Tommy John surgery, Buehler is a shadow of his old self. In the regular season, Buehler was a dismal 1-6 with a 5.38 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. New York is expected to hand the ball to Clarke Schmidt, who was steady in the regular season with a record of 5-5, an excellent ERA of 2.85, and a 1.18 WHIP. The Boys from River Ave. have been down 0-2 in the World Series before and won it. They came back in 1996 against the Atlanta Braves, in 1978 against the LA Dodgers, in 1958 against the Milwaukee Braves, and in 1956 against the Brooklyn Dodgers.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
