YANKEES VS BRAVES PREDICTION
The pitching matchup features Atlanta’s Huascar Ynoa (4-2, 2.70) against New York lefty Jordan Montgomery (4-5, 3.77). New York has won 10 of its last 11 games and has a 31-11 record since July 4. The Braves have won 9 of 10 games and 16 of 18 games. Ynoa has been pitching well but he is due for some regression against this hot-hitting Yankees team. The Braves’ offense slowed down in the last 2 games facing mediocre Baltimore pitching. Ynoa is making his second start back from a three-month-long absence, so he needs a few more quality starts before he can be relied upon. Montgomery has been one of the most consistent starters in the AL. Look for the Yankee bats to stay hot while the Braves are on the verge of a cool down.
