Giants vs Yankees Prediction & Pick
Alex Cobb is the Giants' starting pitcher for the day. The 35-year-old veteran is coming off a solid 2022 season that saw him go 7-8 with a 3.73 ERA over 28 starts. He's also had a decent amount of success against the Yankees in his career, tallying a 7-5 record with a 3.21 ERA in 19 previous collisions (18 starts).
On the other side, Clarke Schmidt serves as Cobb's counterpart. The Yankees are testing the Acworth, GA native as a starter being a reliever for the majority of his career. The opportunity is well-deserved after Schmidt went 5-5 with a 3.12 ERA and two saves over 29 appearances (three starts)
Although the Giants have the pitching advantage due to Cobb's experience, the Yankees are too stacked to be silenced. Things might be close e arly on, but Thursday's victory showed just what New York is capable of. It'll be close at times before the Yankees blow the door right off.
Final Score Prediction:'Yankees: 6 | Giants: 3
Giants vs Yankees Best Bet
After winning by five runs two days ago, I'm going with the Yankees covering the spread again. Not only have they won five straight games against the Giants, but each of those victories came by at least a two-run margin.
With a lineup stacked with the likes of Judge, Giancarlo St anton and DJ LeMahieu, the Yankees will succeed at creating seperation between themselves and the Giants.
