Can the Yankees reprise 1978? Back then, if you recall (or have read), the Dodgers took a similar 2-0 lead into to the Bronx for Game 3 before the Yanks turned the tables to win all three, then putting the hammer down on LA in Game 6 when Reggie Jackson provided the exclamation point with a deep bomb in the 8th inning off of Bob Welch to sew up the series (we know, we were there!). The pressure is on Clarke Schmidt to give NY a chance, and he was mostly serviceable this season with a 2.85 ERA, though his limit is usually five innings and Aaron Boone needs his bullpen at the ready.
Dodger starter Walker Buehler has shown signs of full recovery lately though his post-injury numbers have been up and down. The Yankee batters (especially Aaron Judge) can do their part by simply being a bit more patient. Play Yankees on Run Line (-1)
