Philadelphia Phillies vs NY Yankees Prediction
New York was able to run away with game one in this series in blowout fashion and they will look to take another game here. The Yankees are 36-22 on the road this year, while the Phillies are 38-19 at home. Philadelphia continues to struggle over the last couple of weeks, but the Braves and Mets have not been able to make up much ground. Philly will start Nola in this game, who has been pretty good in his last five starts. The Yankees are going with Cole, who has had mixed results and has either been really good or really bad. These two teams are having very good seasons, but the Phillies struggles are definitely a concern for me here. My Philadelphia Phillies vs NY Yankees prediction is for the Yankees to win.
