The Yankees have the pitching advantage in their series opener against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Friday night.
The American League Cy Young front runner, Max Fried, will take the mound for the Bombers opposite of Tony Gonsolin for the injury-riddled Dodgers.
The veteran right-hander has struggled this season and will face one batter in particular who has had some big-time success against him in the past.
Gonsolin has been getting knocked around in 2025, posting a 4.68 ERA while giving up 24 hits across 25 innings in five starts.
He’s had zero success against left-handed batters, allowing a .294 average with two home runs and three doubles in 61 plate appearances.
And there’s a lefty in the Yankees lineup he’s had no luck stopping over the years: Trent Grisham.

Grisham has been mashing righties all season, too, hitting .292/.376/.646 with 10 home runs amid one of the best starts of his career.

He should get at least two, if not three or more passes at Gonsolin, hitting atop the Yankee lineup as he has since late April.
Look for Grisham to have a knock, if not two, on Friday night at Dodger Stadium.
