Dodgers vs Yankees Game 4 of the World Series: pitchers, lineups, stats, etc.

The New York Yankees' once-dominant offense is nowhere to be found in the postseason, making them look subdued against the Los Angeles Dodgers pitching unit. What should have been an even matchup has turned into a one-sided defeat.

The Yankees’ struggles are clear. They relied on power over consistency, and now their offense is in a slump at the worst possible time. In the first three Games of the World Series, they’ve produced no big hits and allowed runs to pile up when they needed tight defense the most.

On the other hand, the Dodgers, historically known for faltering in the playoffs, found their momentum just when it mattered. After facing potential elimination from the Padres, it looked for a short while that they would destroy their chances, but they have improved with each Game since.

In Game 3 at Yankee Stadium, the Dodgers played nearly flawlessly. Walker Buehler dominated the Yankees’ powerful lineup, and Mookie Betts excelled in right field, contributing to the Dodgers’ strong defense.
