Jordan Lyles has been better this month than in April, and he’s had success against the Yankees, but this will be the fourth time already this year he’s faced them. It’s dangerous giving a lineup this talented that many looks in a short span. Gerrit Cole is getting stronger the more reps he gets, and that includes allowing 17 hits and six runs in his last 19.2 innings. The New York Yankees should also be motivated after losing a doubleheader last night. Give me the Yanks and the RL for max betting value.
