Season series: Yankees lead 2-0
San Francisco tries to avoid the sweep at home after losing 6-2 on Friday and 7-3 on Saturday. SS Casey Schmitt did most of the work offensively for the Giants Saturday with a single and 2-run HR. Starting RHP Logan Webb gave up 4 ER over 7 IP. The Giants have lost 3 in a row after winning the 1st 2 games of its 6-game homestand.
The Yankees got 2-run HRs from both DH Giancarlo Stanton and CF Aaron Judge and LF Alex Verdugo went 2-for-4 with a triple and 2 RBI. New York got 5 solid innings from RHP Cody Poteet (3 R, 2 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 6 K) and have won 4 straight games and 3 straight series.

Yankees at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 8, Giants 6
Moneyline.
PASS.
The Yankees (-132) will complete the sweep on Sunday afternoon but I’m not paying that juice. I’ll save my wager for the run line and/or total.
Run line/Against the spread
BET YANKEES -1.5 (+112).
Cortes has been awful away from home, which is why New York will fall behind early in this game. The Giants have hit better against lefties than righties on the season.
While Snell is good, he doesn’t go deep into games. He hasn’t pitched more than 4 2/3 in any start this season. The Giants have the 2nd-highest bullpen ERA (4.36) in the MLB, which is why the Yankees will make a late-inning comeback to win this game.
New York is 23-11 away from Yankee Stadium this season. They have a team 2.77 ERA and their opponents are hitting just .213 against them on the road. It would be much better if it weren’t for Cortes.
Over/Under
BET OVER 7.5 (-122).
I’ve already given you the game script, the Giants will score early and often before the Yankees storm back against San Francisco’s bullpen.
In their last 8 meetings, the Over has hit in 6 of them including the 1st 2 games of this series. New York has been Over in 3 straight, while San Francisco has been Over in 8 of their last 10.
