Yankees at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 4, Brewers 3
Money line
In a move toward Montas and fading Houser … and a move toward a Yankees offense that owns a .793 OPS in its last 9 games, TAKE NEW YORK (-130). Consider backing off from a full-unit play unless the price dips to -125 or better.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS: Both clubs play a lot of 1-run games.
Over/Under
TAKE THE UNDER 8.5 (-130).
Both clubs come in after a much-needed-by-the-bullpens off day. Peg Montas as being ready to move forward with a few return-to-form efforts down the stretch.
