New York Yankees vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
I’m on the Yankees in this one. I just think Schlittler is one of the better options in New York’s rotation, and I think that the Yankees bounce back nicely as this team doesn’t stay down for long when they get knocked down. The Yankees when from a team that struggles mightily against lefties early on this year to a team that’s demolishing southpaws and I look for more of the same here. Give me the Yankees.
