unday Free winner: New York Yankees.
Game 977.
11:10 AM PST/2:10 PM EST.
The Yankees suffered just one losing streak thus far this regular season, about a month ago they dropped five straight contests. Well folks, so far in this series New York has been defeated in both Games 1 and 2 by Milwaukee. Their explosive offense has accounted for a combined three runs, while their stellar pitching staff has gotten plowed for a combined 10 runs. I feel New York bounces back here in a big way and gets a big victory. This is an interesting matchup as both teams are dealing with a pitching situation. For the Yankees, Carlos Rodon is scheduled to make his season debut. The left-hander has been sidelined since last October as he underwent elbow surgery. He has made three minor league rehab starts without a decision and put up an ERA of just 3.38. He was money a season ago, making 33 starts, going 18-9, with an ERA of 3.09. Over his career in five lifetime starts against Milwaukee, he is 2-1 with a 2.42 ERA. I doubt very watch the Yankees would start him here if he wasn’t ready to become a permanent part of their rotation. The Brewers right-hander is making just his third start of the campaign. He had spent time down in Triple-A Nashville, and up with the Brewers. In his two starts of the 2026 campaign, the team has lost both, as he is lasted just 2.0 and 6.0 and six innings to combine for four earned runs. The New York lineup is averaging over 5.30 runs per game but has been stifled so far in this series. I feel they will break out against this inexperienced youth. Please remember the Yankees also possess the top-ranked pitching staff in baseball. And they too, are due for a good performance. Take New York. Thank you.
