Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Yankees. The MLB pick for this game is the New York Yankees. In two of the Yankees’ first three games, they have displayed strong offensive performance, scoring at least five runs each time. They have had success against the Phillies’ starting pitcher, Walker, who has given up 10 runs in his previous three starts against them. Additionally, the Yankees have shown to be effective hitters against right-handers, which bodes well for them in this game.
While the Phillies have had some success offensively, scoring 10 runs in their first two games, they lost their first series of the season. Although they have hit well against left-handers, they are not likely to score many runs in this game due to the effective pitching of the Yankees’ starter, Cortes, who pitched brilliantly in his lone game against the Phillies last year, allowing only one run.
Furthermore, the Yankees’ bullpen is one of the best in the league, and they have not allowed many runs through their first three games. Therefore, it is likely that they will be able to restrain Philadelphia’s offense in this match. If betting on the money line, it is recommended to choose the Yankees as they are expected to win with a predicted score of 7-3
