New York Yankees vs Chicago Cubs Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Lou Aguila | in MLB Picks
The New York Yankees will go for a 2-0 series lead in the resumption of their three-game series with the Chicago Cubs on Saturday at Wrigley Field. The Yankees drew first blood in their crucial three-game series with the Cubs behind another terrific offensive night from Aaron Judge. The leading American League MVP contender delivered an RBI double, and then a few plays later, scored on Austin Well’s two-run singles to put the Yankees up 3-0 in the third. Luiz Gil also posted strong numbers from the mound in his first game from a back injury, conceding zero runs with seven strikeouts in seven innings. With the victory, New York (81-60) has prevented the Baltimore Orioles (82-60) from earning a full-game lead over them in the AL East standings. The Cubs remain at No.2 in the National League Central behind the Milwaukee Brewers (81-60), but that one loss could make a big difference down the road for Chicago, who are currently five games out of the wild-card playoff picture.

Our New York Yankees vs Chicago Cubs Prediction
Clarke Schmidt will be starting for the Yankees on Saturday, and with the way he has been pitching in his last five starts (3-2, 1.82 ERA), the Yankees getting 56 percent of the money line bets at -145 shouldn’t be a surprising sight at all. The Yankees will not just bank on Schmidt’s pitching prowess. They also have Aaron Judge, who is always a long-bomb threat with his league-leading 51 homers. The Cubs will try to neutralize the Bronx Bombers by starting Javier Assad, but he has just posted back-to-back with three earned runs each, which the Cubs cannot afford to surrender against a loaded team like the Yankees. Our betting prediction for the New York Yankees vs. Chicago Cubs: Back the Yankees to win, -145, at BetMGM.
