Sense of urgency. Home field. Superior starting pitcher. Fair line price. Those are my reasons for liking the Yankees to beat the Dodgers in Game 3 down 0-2 in the World Series.

The Yankees could have won both of the first two games. They were within one out of winning Game 1 and had their chance in the ninth inning of Game 2. 

I'd really like the Yankees' chances if Aaron Boone got lost and didn't make the game. Joking aside and ignoring Boone's terrible overmanaging, everything sets up for New York in this Game 3 spot. 

Besides a sense of urgency and getting to play at home for the first time in the series, the Yankees hold a huge starting pitching edge with a matchup of Walker Buehler vs. Clark Schmidt. 

Buehler hasn't overcome his serious arm injury history. He was 1-6 with a 5.38 ERA and 1.55 WHIP during the regular season. He's 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA in the postseason. Buehler is forced to pitch on the edges with his fastball no longer effective. Playing the Yankees is a bad match for him because New York hitters are patient and know how to take a walk. 

Schmidt had a fine season posting a 2.85 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. 

I don't expect Blake Treinen to pitch unless it's a save situation for LA. Treinen threw a total of 55 pitches during Friday and Saturday's games.
