LA Dodgers (61-36) at New York Yankees (54-42) — Game Preview
The LA Dodgers, who sit atop the NL West at 61-36, travel to Yankee Stadium to face a New York Yankees club that enters at 54-42 and three games back in the AL East. Los Angeles is hitting .262 as a team, well ahead of New York’s .237 mark, even though the Yankees have muscled up for 142 home runs against the Dodgers’ 127. Shohei Ohtani anchors the Dodgers’ lineup, hitting .293 with 22 home runs and 58 RBIs, while Ben Rice has emerged as the Yankees’ primary power threat, batting .279 with 29 home runs and 68 RBIs. Andy Pages backs Ohtani up in the middle of the Los Angeles order, adding 66 RBIs and 17 home runs of his own. New York will be without right fielder Aaron Judge, out with a right ribs fracture, and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton, sidelined by a right calf strain, thinning a lineup that already trails Los Angeles at the plate. The two clubs face off again tonight with the Dodgers looking to build on their division lead and the Yankees looking to cut into their deficit in the East.

Players to Watch: LA Dodgers vs. New York Yankees
LA Dodgers
Shohei Ohtani — DH. Ohtani is hitting .293 with 22 home runs and 58 RBIs, pairing power with plate discipline all season. His .403 on-base percentage and .549 slugging percentage make him equally dangerous working a walk or driving one out of the yard.
Andy Pages — CF. Patrolling center field for Los Angeles, Pages has driven in 66 runs to go with 17 home runs and a .270 batting average this season. He’s settled into everyday run production in the middle of the order, giving the Dodgers length beyond the top of the lineup.
Freddie Freeman — 1B. Freeman brings a steadier bat to the middle of the Dodgers’ order, hitting .290 with 15 home runs and 49 RBIs at first base. His .375 on-base percentage and .487 slugging percentage round out a complete offensive season for the veteran first baseman.
New York Yankees
Ben Rice — 1B. Rice is hitting .279 with 29 home runs and 68 RBIs at first base, forming the backbone of the Yankees’ power this season. His .372 on-base percentage and .599 slugging percentage give New York a middle-of-the-order threat capable of changing a game with one swing.
Cody Bellinger — LF. In left field, Bellinger has put together a .254 average with 11 home runs and 51 RBIs, giving the Yankees production beyond Rice in the lineup. His .345 on-base percentage and .421 slugging percentage make him a steady complementary bat behind New York’s top run producers.
Paul Goldschmidt — 1B. Goldschmidt, one of the more experienced hitters on the Yankees’ roster, is batting .258 with 15 home runs and 42 RBIs this season. His .317 on-base percentage and .492 slugging percentage add another dependable bat to a Yankees lineup working to close the ground in the AL East.
