Keys to Victory at Yankee Stadium


As they prepare for another showdown against the Yankees, focusing on maintaining strong pitching will be crucial for the Dodgers. The bullpen's performance, particularly its ability to keep runners off bases as evidenced by a whip (walks plus hits per inning pitched) of just over 1.0 in recent outings, will be vital in stifling the Yankees' hitters.


On offense, improving batting averages with runners in scoring position (RISP) will be key. Clutch hitting can turn tight games around and given that past performances have seen mixed results in this area; there's room for stepping up.
