The New York Yankees have their backs against the wall in New York Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers look to complete a World Series sweep — the first since 2012 — to capture a second title under manager Dave Roberts. It’s been a dismal series for the Yankees’ biggest bat, with Aaron Judge batting just .083 over the first three games of this series, going 1-for-12 with seven strikeouts. He’s not the only Yankee struggling — the Bronx Bombers are batting just .186 as a team in the series, though both Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto are swinging the bat well.
If you’re a Dodgers fan, Game 4 of the Freddie Freeman Show could be a crowning Los Angeles achievement for the former Atlanta star who is just the third player to hit home runs in the first three games of a World Series, joining Hank Bauer (1958, Yankees) and Barry Bonds (2002, Giants). Freeman has actually homered in his last five World Series games, dating back to his 2021 World Series win with the Braves.
Luis Gil (1-0, 4.50 ERA, 4.0 IP, 3 K, 3 BB in 2024 postseason) gets the start for the Yankees with the season on the line, and the Dodgers will send Ben Casparius (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 4.1 IP, 4 K, 2 BB), with first pitch set for 8:08 p.m. ET at Yankee Stadium on Fox.

The Yankees move Giancarlo Stanton, but not Aaron Judge, down in the lineup
The Yankees are making an odd little adjustment with their backs against the wall. Their lineup today has switched usual cleanup hitter Giancarlo Stanton with No. 5 hitter Jazz Chisholm Jr., with Game 3 No. 6 hitter Anthony Volpe and No. 7 hitter Anthony Rizzo also switching.
Stanton has been amazing this postseason and and had the Yankees’ biggest hit of the season in Game 1 with his two-run homer. Aaron Judge, who is 6-for-43 with 20 strikeouts this postseason, is still hitting third behind Juan Soto.
