The New York Yankees and the Arizona Diamondbacks will play the middle game of their 3-game set tonight in the Bronx. NY lost the first one, 7-5, but will even the score tonight. The Yankee’s ace, Carlos Rodón, is expected on the hill and he was outstanding in his first turn of the season. The D-backs are expected to counter with Zac Gallen, who was lit up in his first outing. Yankees are averaging 12 runs per game and will take care of business tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

The Texas Rangers were routed yesterday by the Cincinnati Reds but that will not happen tonight. The Rangers will have Nathan Eovaldi on the hill and his curveball is the best in the majors. Texas bounces back tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TEXAS RANGERS

The St. Louis Cardinals are going to win today because Miles Mikolas is on the hill for the Birds
TODAY’S PICK: ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

The New York Yankees will be hosting the Milwaukee Brewers today in the Bronx and ex-Yankee Nasty Nestor Cortés is expected on the bump for the Brewers. Cortés is a southpaw and the Yankees feed on left-handed pitchers. They know his junk.

The Detroit Tigers are a big dog tonight against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jack Flaherty is expected on the hill for the Tigers and he is a quality hurler. The Dodgers are expected to have Yoshinobu Yamamoto as their starter and he will have to face really good American hitters, which can be a problem. Welcome to the Bigs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DETROIT TIGERS

The Washington Nationals will host the Philadelphia Phillies today at Nationals Park. MacKenzie Gore will start for the Nats and he is no match for Zack Wheeler. Keep an eye on the Phillies this year because they are World Series bound.
TODAY’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Facing elimination last night in game 4 of the World Series, the New York Yankees stood their ground and lived to see another day by pummeling the Los Angeles Dodgers, 11-4. Tonight at the Stadium with momentum on their side, the Yankees will send their ace, Gerrit Cole, to the hill. Cole, who is 1-0 in the postseason with a 2.82 ERA, was pitching a gem in game 1 and for some unknown reason Aaron Boone made another bonehead decision, pulling his flamethrower after 6 innings and the Yankees went on to lose in extras, 6-3. The Dodgers are expected to send Jack Flaherty to the hill. Flaherty is 1-2 in the postseason with a 6.10 ERA. He was sharp in game 1 against the Yankees but left the game with a hamstring pull which could be an issue tonight. Yankees Stadium is going to be electric, the Bombers bats have awoken, and New York will have one of the best in the business on the hill, Gerrit Cole. Aaron Boone is one of the most inept managers the game has ever seen. If he just stays out of it and lets Gerrit Cole do his thing, the Yankees head to Los Angeles for game 6.
