Rodriguez, an analyst for FOX Sports, appeared on “Fox & Friends” hours before the game and said it’s just one game at a time from here, noting the Yankees have snapped four-game winning streaks several times this season.

“Well, I think you have to break it down to like, can you win a game? And it starts with a pitch,” Rodriguez said. “But here’s some good news. The Yankees have won four games in a row nine times this year. And they’ve done it once in the postseason, but you can’t think that big. You really have to break it down to let us win in evening.

“You have a good matchup tonight because they have the (Dodgers) bullpen versus (Luis) Gil. And then tomorrow night (if possible), you have the best pitcher in the factory in Gerrit Cole. So start with one, and then get this thing back to LA”

The offensive struggles have been noticeable.

Aaron Judge, the likely American League MVP, is 1-for-12 with a walk in the series.

Rodriguez has been in the referee’s shoes in the past with fights in the biggest moments of his career. He expressed his concerns about the judge.

“Look, Aaron Judge has had an incredible last two seasons,” he added. “And it’s ironic, you’ve seen (Giancarlo) Stanton struggle in the season and he’s been Superman in the playoffs. And Aaron’s been the opposite. I’ve been where he’s at and I really feel sorry for him because you don’t could have a better guy.

“My concern is this – when it goes from physical to mental, it’s a real concern because it could go on for a minute. Physicality, it’s like golf. You hit a ball on the drive right down the middle of the fairway, you feel pretty good. But Aaron, I feel like he’s pushing the ball a little bit.
