Atlanta Braves vs New York Yankees Prediction & Picks - MLB

 by Lou Aguila | in MLB Picks

The Atlanta Braves look to stay hot as they brace for a tough series with the New York Yankees, beginning Friday at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York. The Braves are winners of six in their last seven games, having swept the Detroit Tigers in the previous series. After a slow start this June, Atlanta has improved to 9-8, hitting .237/.292/.415 with 75 runs and a 4.10 ERA. The Braves (41-31) are still trailing the Philadelphia Phillies (49-25) by seven games but they have an opportunity to cut down the deficit and make a big statement if they can get good results from this series with the Yankees. The Yankees, meanwhile, have dropped four of their last five games. The string of losses has allowed the Baltimore Orioles (49-25) to move within 0.5 games of the Yankees (51-26) for the AL East leadership. The Bronx Bombers are 11-7 in June, producing 104 runs and 27 homers while batting .243. Pitching continues to be the problem for the Yankees, who allowed a 4.59 ERA this month.

Pitchers Matchup: Braves veteran lefty Chris Sale (9-2, 2.98 ERA with 99 strikeouts) will duke it out with Yankees lefty Carlos Rodon (9-3, 3.28 ERA with 81 strikeouts).

Our Atlanta Braves vs New York Yankees Prediction

Chris Sale has collected 27 strikeouts in three starts this June. The 35-year-old veteran remains a weapon for the Braves despite getting up there in age. In his recent start vs. the Rays, Sale gave up only two runs with seven strikeouts in 7.0 innings to help the Braves score a 7-3 win. Sales lands in the top 10 in wins (9-2), strikeouts (99) and WHIP (0.94). Of course, the Braves hurler understands that he needs to bring out his A-game to neutralize the Yankees’ high-powered batting lineup. Fortunately for Sale, the Yankees have been mediocre this past week, batting .205 with 22 runs over their last five games. It has been a while since Sale faced the Yankees. The last time he went up against the Bombers was in 2022 when he was still playing for their rivals, the Boston Red Sox. Our betting prediction for the New York Yankees vs. Atlanta Braves: Bet on Sale to go OVER 6.5 strikeouts, -145, at DraftKings.

Prediction:

Chris Sale OVER 6.5 Strikeouts
