Key Stats
New York Yankees
Nestor Cortes(LHP) will get the start for the Yankees in today’s game. Cortes has started the season 0-1 with a 6.30 ERA and has struck out seven batters. Anthony Volpe leads the team with a .424 batting average, eight RBIs, 14 hits, and an OBP of .486. Giancarlo Stanton has hit a team-high three home runs.
Miami Marlins
The Marlins are expected to start Jesus Luzardo(LHP) for today’s game. Luzardo has started the season 0-1 with a 4.35 ERA and 13 strikeouts. Jake Burger has recorded 12 hits and 12 RBIs and is batting .308, which leads the team. Nick Gordon has crushed two home runs, and Luis Arraez has an OBP of .362.
Game Prediction
The Marlins tallied their first win of the season yesterday but now face a Yankees team that has been rolling this year. Nasty Nestor Cortes will have a solid day pitching against a team that has not been that good at the plate. Luzardo is off to a solid start in 2024, but he is facing a New York lineup that is loaded from top to bottom. Miami ranks 29th in runs allowed, which favors the Bronx Bombers. Back New York to get another win and take a 1-0 series lead at home.
Final Pick
New York Yankees ML (-166)
