Yankees at Braves Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

YANKEES (+190) at BRAVES (-230), 7:20 p.m. ET, Total: 9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they were unable to secure a series sweep after a 7-6 loss on Sunday night, the Braves again look formidable and have now won five of seven following a rare three-game skid. Baseball\u2019s most prolific offense has scored at least five runs in all but one of their 13 games this month, and has done so in 15 of 17, plating eight or more in seven of those contests. Atlanta\u2019s dominance in the first inning is well-documented, but it\u2019s still amazing to see how heavily favored the team is against the visiting Yankees, who arrive in last place in the AL East despite still owning a winning record. The Bronx Bombers come in off another meltdown, blowing a 7-1 lead in the final two innings as closer Clay Holmes blew a certain victory through bad pitching and a costly error. At 60-58, New York sits five games behind Toronto for the final AL Wild Card.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clarke Schmidt (8-6, 4.23 ERA) will look to help the Yanks pull the upset and has helped pitch the Yankees to victories in seven consecutive starts. Since the beginning of May, Schmidt has surrendered more than three runs in a single start only once in 17 outings, regularly working at least five innings. This will be a special game for the Georgia native, who will be pitching in his home state and facing the Braves for the first time. Only Kevin Pillar and Nicky Lopez have faced Schmidt among current Atlanta hitters, coming in 1-for-3. Max Fried (3-1, 2.50) will make his third start since returning to the rotation after missing almost three months due to a forearm strain. He had one rough inning in an eventual 6-5 win in Pittsburgh last Wednesday, pitching only four innings. The talented lefty has allowed one or fewer earned runs in five of his seven starts in 2023 and will be looking to bounce back against a New York offense that ranks seventh in MLB in OPS against southpaws. Fried won his only start vs. the Yankees back in 2020, so he doesn\u2019t have much of a history against their hitters. Giancarlo Stanton comes in 3-for-5 with a home against the Braves lefty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
