Rodriguez, an analyst for FOX Sports, appeared on “Fox & Friends” hours before the game and said it’s one game at a time from here and noted that the Yankees have pulled off a four-game winning streak several times this season.
“Well, I think you have to slow down to like, can you win one game? And it starts with one pitch,” Rodriguez said. “But, here’s the good news. The Yankees have won four games in a row nine times this year. And they did it once in the postseason, but you can’t think that big. You really have to break it to win tonight.
“You have a great matchup tonight because they have a bullpen (Dodgers) against (Luis) Gil. Then tomorrow night (if possible), you have the best pitcher in the crop in Gerrit Cole. So, start with one, then bring this back to LA.”
The offensive struggles have been evident.

Aaron Judge, the likely American League MVP, is 1-for-12 with a walk in the series.
Rodriguez has been in Judge’s shoes in the past, struggling in the biggest moments of his career. He expressed his concern about the Judge.
“Look, Aaron Judge had an amazing, amazing season,” he added. “And it’s weird that you’ve seen (Giancarlo) Stanton struggle this season and be Superman in the playoffs. And Aaron was against him. I’ve been there, and I feel for him because you couldn’t have a better guy.
“My concern is this – when it goes from the body to the mind, that’s a real concern because that can last a minute. The fitness, it’s like golf. You hit the ball on the drive down the middle of the fairway, it feels great. But Aaron, I feel like you’re putting a little pressure on the ball.
