Brewers vs Yankees Prediction

I was considering the Brewers and the plus money with Mišorowski on the mound, as he’s one of the better young arms in the sport. The problem is we’re not getting enough bang for our buck. The Yankees continue to look like one of the best teams in baseball and Fried is on his way to another all star appearance. Through 52.2 frames, Fried has a 2.39 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with 43 strikeouts. The value is with the Yankees and the cheap price with the way they’re playing and who is on the bump. Give me the Yanks.
