Chicago Cubs vs NY Yankees Prediction

Runs have been hard to come by each of the first two games and it’s going to be much of the same here. Taillon in his last start gave up zero runs and he’s going to dominate again here. Cole gave up only one run in his last start and the Ice cold bats for the Cubs are going to really struggle here to get anything going. Both offenses are going to struggle here, and the under is going to cash.
