Yankees vs Marlins Prediction

The Yankees have had a field day offensively in this series and I doubt things change against Paddack, who was dreadful in his season opener. Freid is looking like an early CY Young candidate through three starts. The Yankees are just flexing their muscles in this series and they have a clear pitching edge. I have no choice but to side with the Yankees for the sweep and i’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
