The Los Angeles Dodgers took care of business at home in the first two games of the 2024 World Series, and now the New York Yankees will try to stay in the series and avoid a 3-0 hole in Game 3. The middle three games of the series — if the Yankees extend the series to five or more games — are at Yankee Stadium, where New York had the worst home record (44-37) of any of the six division winners in Major League Baseball this season.
Shohei Ohtani, who suffered a separated shoulder while stealing second base in the seventh inning of Game 2, is in the lineup for Game 3 of the World Series. Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is the 2024 postseason leader in home runs with six in 11 games. For the Dodgers, it’s been the Freddie Freeman show in the World Series thus far, as he’s gone 3-for-9 with two home runs — including that epic, game-winning grand slam in Game 1 — to go along with five RBI.
Walker Buehler (0-1, 6.00 ERA, 9.0 IP, 6 K, 3 BB in 2024 postseason) gets the ball for the Dodgers against Clarke Schmidt (0-0, 3.86 ERA, 9.1 IP, 6 K, 3 BB) for the Yankees with first pitch set for 8:08 p.m. ET.
