Preview
The Chicago Cubs and the New York Yankees will meet for the first and only time this season to play a 3-game series at the Yankee Stadium. The Yankees won their last series against the Twins on the road while the Cubs lost their last series against the Cardinals.
New York Yankees
The Yankees get here with a 41-16 record and have won 8 of their last 10 games. The team is averaging 4.8 runs per game and allowing 3 runs. Aaron Judge leads the team and is batting for .316 with 22 home runs and 45 RBI.
Nestor Cortes leads the pitching staff with a 1.96 ERA, 71 strikeouts and 5 wins recorded.
Probable Pitcher: Luis Severino (4-1, 2.95 ERA)
Severino will be on the mound in the 1st game of the series for the Yanks. Severino tossed 7 scoreless, one-hit innings Saturday against the Tigers. He struck out 10, walked one and earned the win. He has only 1 start against the Cubs in his career where he allowed 1 run and struck out 9 across 7 innings pitched. He didn't factor into the decision.
Chicago Cubs
The Cubs get here with a 23-33 record and have lost their last 3 games. The team is averaging 4.3 runs per game with a .236 at bat while allowing 4.7 runs. Patrick Wisdom is leading the team with 12 home runs and 31 RBI while Contreras has the better batting average with .275.
Keegan Thompson leads the pitching staff with a 1.99 ERA, 38 strikeouts and 6 wins recorded for the Cubs.
Probable Pitcher:
Wade Miley (1-0, 3.38 ERA) will be on the mound for the Cubs in the 1st game of the series. Miley will be activated off the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Yankeess. He has only 3 starts this season and hasn't pitched a game since May 22. He is 0-4 with an ERA of 5.98 and 48 strikeouts in 11 appearances vs the Yankees in his career.
BETTING TRENDS
Chi Cubs are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games.
Chi Cubs are 1-8 SU in their last 9 games against NY Yankees.
NY Yankees are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games at home.
NY Yankees are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games when playing at home against Chi Cubs.
Prediction
The Yankees offense continue to stay hot as they scored 10 runs in 2 of the 3 games against the Twins. They're sending Severino to the mound to face the Cubs who are 15-25 against right handed pitchers. The Cubs have lost 4 of their last 5 games and have struggled against the Yankees although they haven't faced them since 2017. This will be a tough test for Miley as he's coming back from an injury and is going against the hottest team in the league. Take the Yankees.
PICK: Yankees -1.5 (-115)
