The New York Yankees will travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to face the Milwaukee Brewers at the American Family Field with the game scheduled to start at 8:10 PM ET on Friday night and will air on the MLB Network, Bally Sports Wisconsin, and the YES Network.
The New York Yankees have been one of the best teams in the American League to start the season. They enter the series with the Milwaukee Brewers with a record of 17-9 and have won six of their first eight series of the 2024 MLB season. However, they are coming off a 2-2 series split at home against the Oakland Athletics following a 1-3 loss in Game 4 of the series on Thursday evening.
The Yankees feature one of the best pitching rotations in the MLB this season as they are allowing the 3rd fewest runs per game with an average of 3.48 runs allowed per game. New York has lost seven of the last ten and two of the previous three games in the series while having lost by an average margin of 1.8 runs per game over the last ten and 4 runs per game over the previous three games in the series and split the series 2-2 last year.
The New York Yankees will look to start the series off with a win when they travel to face the Milwaukee Brewers for Game 1 of the series.
The Milwaukee Brewers are coming off a series split on the road against the Pittsburgh Pirates. However, they ended the series on a two-game winning streak following a 7-5 win in Game 4 of the series on Thursday.
Milwaukee has also been one of the best teams in the National League this season. They enter this game with the second-best record in the National League, 16-8, and only the Atlanta Braves have a better record.
Milwaukee has dominated the series against New York, having won seven of the last ten and two of the previous three meetings. They have also won by an average margin of 1.8 runs per game over the last ten and 4 runs per game over the previous three games in the series. The Milwaukee Brewers will look to extend their winning streak to three games when they host the New York Yankees for Game 1 of the series on Friday night.
JustBet has the New York Yankees listed as -125 moneyline favorites on the road against the Milwaukee Brewers for Game 1 of the series on Friday night. Milwaukee has won seven of the last ten and two of the previous three games in the series while having won by an average margin of 1.8 runs per game over the last ten and 4 runs per game over the previous three games in the series.
Both teams enter this series with two of the top 5 records in the MLB with the Brewers tied for the 3rd best record and the Yankees having the 5th best record. However, the Brewers enter this game on a two-game winning streak and have dominated the series against the Yankees, winning seven of the last ten and two of the previous three games in the series.
As a result, I am taking the moneyline for the Milwaukee Brewers when they host the New York Yankees for Game 1 of the series on Friday night.
