Prediction
The Yankees offense struggled against Brady Singer who held them to zero runs across 7 innings. For this game they will face Kris Bubic who has been up and down this season and lost against the Yankees ealier this season. Gerrit Cole will take the mound for the Yankees who's coming from a loss vs Orioles but dominated the Royals the last time he faced them pitching 6 scoreless innings.
