Yankees at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 5, Brewers 4
Moneyline
The YANKEES (-140) are worth a look as moderate favorites in the interleague series finale.
New York pounded the Brewers (+115) in Saturday’s outing, and it has won 6 of the past 10 outings. The offense has been sink or swim lately, going for 5 or more runs in 6 of the past 10 outings, but it has 1 or no runs in 3 of those games, too.
Run line/Against the spread
The Brewers +1.5 (-145) aren’t a terrible play if you’d like a little bit of insurance and don’t like Milwaukee straight up. However, the only drawback is Myers. He is a bit of a wild card, as this is his first-ever home start and just his second career outing in the show. Facing the Yankees could be a mess, especially after they rolled up 15 runs Saturday.
AVOID, and just focus on the moneyline.
Over/Under
OVER 8.5 (-110) is the lean, but only play a half-unit at most.
The Over cashed in the first 2 Games of the series, with an average of 15.5 RPG. Even if we have substantially fewer runs, the way things have gone, we shouldn’t have trouble getting to 9 combined runs.
The Over has hit in 3 in a row for Milwaukee, with 12 or more runs in each of the outings.
