Dodgers vs Yankees: World Series Game 3 Updates and Analysis

The 2024 World Series has shifted to Yankee Stadium for Game 3, with the Los Angeles Dodgers holding a 2-0 lead over the New York Yankees. Despite the Yankees’ home advantage, they face significant pressure to turn the series around. One of the key players under scrutiny is Aaron Judge, who has struggled in the postseason, batting just 6 for 40 with 19 strikeouts and 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position.

Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers’ superstar two-way player, is set to participate in Game 3 despite sustaining a shoulder injury during a slide in Game 2. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Ohtani is in fine condition and will play in the upcoming game.

The series has drawn significant viewership, with the first two games averaging 14.55 million viewers, the best opening for the World Series since 2017. Game 2, which the Dodgers won 4-2, attracted 13.44 million viewers, a 65% increase from last year’s Game 2.

The Yankees’ lineup for Game 3 includes Gleyber Torres, Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Anthony Volpe, Anthony Rizzo, Jose Trevino, and Alex Verdugo. The Dodgers’ lineup has not been fully announced as of the latest updates.

The game is scheduled to start at 8:08 PM ET, and fans are eagerly anticipating whether the Yankees can capitalize on their home field advantage or if the Dodgers will move within one win of securing the World Series title.
