Teams — Los Angeles brings the stronger offensive profile with a .774 OPS, 508 runs, and a .261 average. The Dodgers also back that up with a 3.52 team ERA and 1.14 WHIP, while their last 10 games sit at 5-5. New York has a .740 OPS, 463 runs, and a .237 average. The Yankees have been slightly better on the run prevention side overall with a 3.38 team ERA, though their 1.19 WHIP is a bit higher than Los Angeles. They are also 5-5 over their last 10 games. This matchup pairs the more productive lineup against the slightly better full-season staff indicators.
Los Angeles has only a modest amount of history against Cam Schlittler, but there are a few productive matchups. Max Muncy stands out at 2-for-2 with a 2.500 OPS, while Freddie Freeman is 1-for-2 with a 1.000 OPS and both Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages are 1-for-3 with a 1.000 OPS. Mookie Betts and Kyle Tucker have each been hitless, with Betts 0-for-2 in 2 PA with a .000 OPS and Tucker 0-for-2 in 2 PA with a .000 OPS. Miguel Rojas, Teoscar Hernández, and Eliezer Alfonzo have no MLB history vs that pitcher.
New York shows a bit more familiarity with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, with several hitters carrying at least a small track record. Trent Grisham is batting .400 with an .800 OPS in 5 AB, Cody Bellinger is at .200 with a .400 OPS in 5 AB, and Jasson Domínguez is batting .500 with a 1.000 OPS in 2 AB. Jazz Chisholm Jr. has a .250 average but a strong 1.250 OPS in 4 AB, Austin Wells is 1-for-2 with a 1.000 OPS, and Ben Rice is 1.000 with a 5.000 OPS in his lone AB. Paul Goldschmidt is 0-for-2 in 2 PA with a .000 OPS, Anthony Volpe is hitless in 3 AB with a .000 OPS, and José Caballero has no MLB history vs that pitcher.
The Yankees appear to have the more experienced group against the opposing starter, with more hitters carrying multiple prior at-bats. The Dodgers have a few encouraging results, but more of their lineup is either lightly tested or has no prior history at all.
