NY Yankees vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

I’ll take a stab on the Braves. Morton gave up four earned in 5.0 innings against the Nationals back on June 8, but he returned with a nice effort his last time up. Morton bagged a win over the Rays in that one with just one earned on three hits and two walks. As for Stroman, he’s struggled a bit lately with nine earned in 15.1 innings over his last three starts.

On Friday the Braves were up 8-1 after four innings as Carlos Rodon faded in the start. I like Atlanta to keep it up in Game two.
