NY Yankees vs Milwaukee Brewers prediction

The Yankees probably should be favored as Rodon has been the more consistent pitcher this season. Ross has been solid through 3 of 4 starts, but all of his struggles have come at home in the short sample size. With all that said, we’re once again getting the plus money with a Brewers team that continues to win games. I’m always down to take the more favorable price with a team that wins games at a good clip. It doesn’t hurt to be at home, either. Give me the Brewers.
