Yankees vs Brewers Prediction
With the Brewers as the underdogs at +114, they are offering a lot of value on the money line. We actually have the Brewers winning this one 6-5. So, we would also recommend taking the over if you’re looking for a second bet.
Looking at the starting pitchers, we have Joe Ross finishing with five strikeouts compared to Carlos Rodón with seven. Ross is also projected to finish with fewer earned runs than Rodón, and with the Yankees’ offense projected to finish with the seventh most home runs today, we could see Rodón getting hurt by the long ball.
