Dodgers send Urias into battle with Yankees
The Yankees have dropped two in a row following a season-high seven-game winning streak. Is CC Sabathia capable of putting them back on the right path tonight?
In a contest rife with storylines, New York hosts the Dodgers at 7:05 p.m. ET. Online sports book BetDSI gives the visitors odds of -140 to prevail. Joe Girardi’s gang, on the other hand, enters the Bronx as a +125 underdog. The over/under run total rests at 8.5.

Quickly losing ground in the American League wild-card race, the Yanks (76-67) turn to their most seasoned September performer. Unfortunately, Sabathia owns a 3-8 record with a 5.79 ERA in his past 15 starts. Almost a week ago, he couldn’t get out of the fifth inning against Tampa Bay.
Dave Roberts counters with Julio Urias, whose last outing ended prematurely due to a finger injury. Yet the prized southpaw holds a 5-0 mark with a 2.98 ERA since June 17, displaying superior movement and better-than-expected command. He’ll face the Bronx Bombers for the first time.

Los Angeles (81-62) has been a bit hit-and-miss in terms of the long ball all year. Still, Sabathia continues to serve up tasty treats with regularity. On the heels of Monday’s 8-2 victory in favor of the Boys in Blues, look for another offensive showcase.
