Yankees at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 6, Yankees 4

Moneyline

The lefty-lefty mound matchup favors the home nine. Philadelphia ranks 1st in MLB with a .780 OPS against port-siders. The Yankees rank a middling 15th at .713.

Sanchez has been terrific at home (1.75 ERA, 0.97 WHIP), and Cortes has struggled mightily on the road (6.18 ERA, 1.61 WHIP). The Yankee southpaw is backed by a listing and likely fatigued bullpen.

New York is just 2-5 over its last 7 series finales.

TAKE THE PHILLIES (-135).

Over/Under

New York has banged out 44 extra-base hits while logging a .979 OPS over its last 8 games. Philadelphia has the big numbers against lefty pitching.

On a warmed-up, humid, wind-blowing-out afternoon with bullpen arms tilting toward ragged, BACK THE OVER 9.5 (-105).

New York Yankees at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s New York Yankees at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Yankees (63-45) and Philadelphia Phillies (65-41) play the 2nd game of a 3-game set Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park at 6:40 p.m. ET (TBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Phillies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Yankees lead 1-0

Yankees 3B Jazz Chisholm Jr. and CF Aaron Judge each homered twice as part of a 6-home run barrage in Monday’s series opener. New York won 14-4 to earn its 3rd straight triumph. Over the 3 games, the Bronx Bombers have tallied 33 runs.

Philadelphia owns MLB’s best record, but the Phillies are just 1-4 over their last 5 games and 3-8 across their last 11.

Yankees at Phillies projected starters

RHP Gerrit Cole vs. RHP Aaron Nola

Cole (3-2, 5.40 ERA) is lined up for his 8th start. He has a 1.46 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 9.8 K/9 through 35 innings.

  • Last outing: Loss, 5 2/3 IP, 6 ER, 8 H, 2 BB, 4 K in 12-3 home defeat vs. New York Mets Wednesday
  • Career vs. Phillies: 6-3, 2.90 ERA (49 2/3 IP, 16 ER), 1.19 WHIP, 9.6 K/9 in 9 starts

Nola (11-4, 3.44 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has logged a 1.06 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 across 130 2/3 innings.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 6 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 3 BB, 6 K in 5-4 loss at Minnesota Twins Wednesday
  • Career vs. Yankees: 1-2, 2.88 ERA (25 IP, 8 ER), 0.92 WHIP, 11.2 K/9 in 4 starts
  • Has clocked 2.45 ERA, 0.74 WHIP over his last 4 starts at home

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Phillies 4

Moneyline

The YANKEES (+100) are 5-1 over their last 6 games against the Phils. Included in Philly’s recent struggles is a 2-5 mark in the club’s last 7 at Citizens.

Cole was perhaps brought back too soon, without enough of an in-season spring training ramp up in the minors. But he’s pitched better than what his surface line shows. Specifically, of late he’s been undone by a high batting average on balls in play (.350 BABIP in last 4 starts).

New York now has DH Giancarlo Stanton back after he had missed several weeks with a hamstring injury. Add in the newly acquired Chisholm, and the Yankee offense is looking like the Bronx Bombers moniker may again be applicable after some June-July batting woes.

TAKE NEW YORK (+100).

Run line/Against the spread

The Under has some lean, but any would-be sway toward a Yankee underdog play is watered down by the high price tag. AVOID.

Over/Under

The Over cruised in Monday’s game, but the Under had been 6-2 across Philadelphia’s previous 8 contests.

The pitching matchup for Tuesday makes for a slight Under lean. Back-end bullpen types are rested. Cole has talent indicators outpacing his surface ERA, and Nola specializes in avoiding hard contact.

BET THE UNDER 9.5 (-110).

New York Yankees at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s New York Yankees at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Philadelphia Phillies (65-40) welcome the New York Yankees (62-45) to Citizens Bank Park Monday. First pitch to commence the 3-game series is set for 6:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network/Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Phillies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Yankees won 2-1 last season

The Phillies have lost 4 straight series after dropping a rubber match to the Cleveland Guardians 4-3 Sunday as -120 home favorites. Philadelphia is 4-8 over its last 12 games, but is still one of the best home teams in the majors with a 38-18 record at Citizens Bank Park. It is 54-51 against the spread (ATS) on the season.

The Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 8-2 Sunday. They used a 3-run 1st inning to take the lead and never looked back. New York has won 2 in a row yet has lost 3 of its last 5. It sits 2nd in the AL East and is a strong 35-22 in away games this season. The Yankees have a better record on the road than at home (27-23) and are 55-51 ATS on the season.

Yankees at Phillies projected starters

RHP Luis Gil vs. RHP Zack Wheeler

Gil (10-5, 3.10 ERA) makes his 21st start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 4.2 BB/9 and 10.4 K/9 through 107 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 3-2 home loss to New York Mets Tuesday
  • 2024 away splits: 5-2, 3.04 ERA (50 1/3 IP, 17 ER), 1.13 WHIP, 4 HR, 8.9 K/9 in 9 starts
  • Never faced Phillies before

Wheeler (10-4, 2.55 ERA) makes his 21st start. He has a 0.98 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 through 123 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 7 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 2 BB, 7 K in 3-0 road win over Minnesota Twins Tuesday
  • 2024 home splits: 7-2, 1.77 ERA (71 1/3 IP, 14 ER), 0.88 WHIP, 4 HR, 10.2 K/9 in 11 starts
  • Career vs. Yankees: 1-1, 5.91 ERA (21 1/3 IP, 14 ER), 1.78 WHIP, 7.6 K/9 in 4 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 4, Yankees 3

Moneyline

BET PHILLIES (-154).

The Phillies are 6-1 in Wheeler’s last 7 home starts. In those 7, dating back to April 20, he has allowed a combined 10 ER.

The Phillies will have a clear pitching advantage, having won Wheeler’s last 3 starts, and the Yankees, who played in Boston Sunday evening, will have a rest disadvantage.

New York is 2-3 in its last 5 games and 2-2 in its last 4 on the road. Considering the Phillies’ strength with Wheeler on the mound and at home in general, back PHILLIES (-154).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Yankees are too expensive to take on the run line, at more than 1½ times a potential return. The Phillies, on the other hand, are too risky as run-line favorites.

Avoid this play.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-105).

The Phillies and Yankees both have efficient starters, which should help limit runs. The Phillies have gone Under in 3 straight games, scoring 12 runs over that span while allowing 7. They have scored 4 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 6 games.

Philadelphia is 2-6 O/U in its last 8 games. The Yankees have gone Over in 3 straight games overall, but have gone Under in Gil’s last 3 starts, allowing just 7 runs in those 3 outings combined. Considering those trends, take UNDER 9 (-105).

New York Yankees at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Yankees at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The New York Yankees (33-31) and Philadelphia Phillies (31-31) close out an abbreviated two-game weekend series Sunday. The contest at Citizens Bank Park is slated for a 1:05 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees vs. Phillies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Domingo German is the projected starting pitcher for the Yankees. He is 4-3 with a 3.12 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 8.2 K/9, and 1.8 BB/9 in 60 2/3 IP over 11 starts.

German has worked around some home-run problems (1.8 per nine innings) in posting his 3.12 ERA. The 28-year-old has registered a fine 2.15 ERA over his last 5 starts and has allowed just 3 ER over his last 26 IP on the road.

RHP Aaron Nola is the projected starter for the Phillies. He is 4-4 with a 4.06 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 10.2 K/9, and 2.0 BB/9 in 75 1/3 IP over 13 starts.

Nola has enjoyed pitching at Citizens Bank Park where he owns a 3.03 ERA across 6 starts this season and a 2.85 ERA since 2019.

  • Over/Under: 8 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Yankees 5, Phillies 4

Money line (ML)

The Yanks have scored just 3.94 runs per game, which ranks 25th in MLB, but they head into this contest having scored five or more runs in five straight games. They’ve clocked a .929 OPS over those five contests.

The Phillies are 5-2 on their current home stand and are 20-12 at Citizens Bank Park on the year.

Both clubs have disappointed offensively, but the Yankees have some growth potential baked into their analytics. Statcast quality-of-contact numbers say better things about the Yankee attack than does the team’s 3.94 RPG figure.

The Phillies have a right-leaning lineup card for this one, and that’s a boon for German, who has held righty bats to a mere .647 OPS this season.

BACK THE YANKEES (-105).

New York Yankees at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Yankees at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The New York Yankees (33-30) and Philadelphia Phillies (30-31) play the front half of an abbreviated two-game weekend series Saturday. The contest at Citizens Bank Park is slated for a 4:05 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees vs. Phillies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Jameson Taillon is the projected starting pitcher for the Yankees. He is 1-4 with a 5.09 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 9.8 K/9, and 2.7 BB/9 in 53 IP over 11 starts.

Albeit in a small 16 2/3-inning sample, Taillon has a 9.18 ERA on the road. Current Phillies batters own a .912 OPS against him.

RHP Vince Velasquez is the projected starter for the Phillies. He is 2-1 with a 4.33 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 10.7 K/9, and 5.4 BB/9 in 43 2/3 IP over 8 starts and 4 relief appearances this season.

The veteran righty posted a 1.11 ERA in 24 1/3 frames from May 3-25, but he’s allowed 9 ER in 7 IP in two starts since then.

  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Yankees 5, Phillies 3

Money line (ML)

The Yanks have scored just 3.89 runs per game, which ranks 24th in MLB, but they head into this contest having scored five or more runs in four straight games.

The Phillies are 4-2 on their current home stand and are 19-12 at Citizens Bank Park on the year.

Both clubs have disappointed offensively, but the Yankees have some growth potential baked into their analytics. Statcast quality-of-contact numbers say better things about the Yankee attack than does the team’s 3.89 RPG figure.

PASS on the money line and look to leverage a better price in the marketplace with the New York run line tag.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Taillon has experienced some control problems of late, but he has a nice strikeout history against Philadelphia batters and appears to be getting more proficient at turning his four-seamer into infield pop-ups. He’s also backed by the better bullpen in this matchup.

Velasquez has seen recent slips in command and is up against a New York nine which banged out 7.3 RPG on a .989 OPS in three games at Minnesota.

BACK THE YANKEES -1.5 (+125).

Over/Under (O/U)

The lean here is small but it’s on the UNDER 9 (-110). This matchup sets up a lot of right-vs.-right strikeouts and Taillon is a decent play candidate in general. Add in the run-scoring environment of Major League Baseball in 2021, and beating a -120 on 9 runs has some value.
