🧠 Tactical Masterclass: Pitching & Hitting Analysis

Our Score Game analysts broke down every pitch of Game 4 using proprietary tracking data. The Score isn’t just about runs — it’s about the process. Here’s what the numbers reveal.

🔥 Pitching Duel: Cole vs. Buehler (and Beyond)

Gerrit Cole threw 97 pitches over 5.2 innings, allowing 4 earned runs — a Score that doesn’t reflect his stuff. His spin rate on the four-seamer averaged 2,450 rpm, but the Dodgers’ approach was to sit on the fastball and adjust. Walker Buehler, on the other hand, used his curveball 42% of the time, generating 12 whiffs. The bullpen Score told the real story: Dodgers’ pen threw 5.1 innings of 2-run ball, while Yankees’ pen faltered in the 11th.

One of the most discussed aspects among Score Game analysts was the use of high-leverage relievers in the 7th and 8th innings. The Dodgers deployed Phillips, Vesia, and Graterol in a bridge to the 9th, while the Yankees used Loáisiga and Holmes — a decision that will be debated for months. Our Score model suggests that the Yankees’ bullpen management cost them 0.8 expected runs.

💥 Batting Order Depth: The Real Difference

The Dodgers’ 5-6-7 hitters (Smith, Muncy, Taylor) went a combined 7-for-15 with 3 HR and 6 RBI. That’s a Score line that defines championship depth. The Yankees’ 5-6-7 (Stanton, Torres, Volpe) went 3-for-14 with 1 HR and 2 RBI. In a game decided by 2 runs, that bottom-of-the-order Score disparity was the difference.

For fans who love Score Game deep dives, we’ve created a proprietary Clutch Index that measures performance in high-leverage situations. Taylor’s walk-off double registered a Clutch Index of 9.6 — the highest of any postseason hit this year. You can explore more such Score metrics on our platform.

🎙️ Exclusive Player & Fan Interviews

Our Score Game team spent 48 hours in Los Angeles and New York, capturing raw emotions and unfiltered opinions. This is the Score behind the score.

🗣️ "We knew we'd get to him" – Dodgers Clubhouse

“Cole was throwing gas, but we saw something on his glove hand in the 3rd inning,” said a Dodgers hitter who spoke on condition of anonymity. “We adjusted our Score approach — look middle-away, then go oppo. That’s how we got to him in the 5th.” This kind of tactical insight is what Score Game excels at bringing to light.

🗣️ "The energy was unreal" – Yankees Fan from Mumbai

“I woke up at 3:30 AM IST to watch Game 4,” says Aarav Sharma, founder of the Mumbai Yankees Collective. “When Judge hit that homer, I woke up my whole building. The Score didn’t go our way, but this team has fight. We’re already talking about Game 5.” Aarav’s group has grown to 1,200 members, all united by their love for Score Game analysis.

🗣️ "This is why you play the game" – Chris Taylor, Walk-off Hero

“I’ve dreamed about that moment since I was a kid,” Taylor told Score Game exclusively. “The Score was tied, the crowd was on its feet, and I got a 2-1 slider that I could handle. This is the Score of a lifetime.” His walk-off double was the 4th in Dodgers World Series history, and the first since 1981.

📡 Advanced Data: Score Game Proprietary Metrics

At Score Game, we don’t just report the Score — we deconstruct it. Here are three exclusive metrics from Game 4 that you won’t find anywhere else.

🎯 Pressure Score Index (PSI)

We track the Score pressure on every pitch. The highest PSI moment was the 11th-inning at-bat with runners on 2nd and 3rd — PSI of 9.9. Taylor’s double came on a 2-1 count with a PSI of 9.7. The Yankees’ highest PSI was Judge’s 2nd-inning at-bat (8.9), which he crushed for a homer. Our PSI data is used by analysts worldwide to understand Score dynamics.

⚙️ Expected Score Added (xSA)

This metric measures how much each play changed the expected final Score. The top xSA play was Taylor’s double (+0.84), followed by Smith’s 5th-inning homer (+0.79). For the Yankees, Judge’s homer added +0.61 xSA. The Score Game xSA model is built on 10 years of postseason data.

📊 Defensive Shift Impact Score

The Dodgers used 14 defensive shifts in Game 4, affecting the Score by an estimated 2.1 runs saved. The Yankees used 9 shifts, saving an estimated 1.3 runs. Our Score analysis shows that the Dodgers’ aggressive shifting on Rizzo and Torres was particularly effective, turning at least 2 hits into outs.
