MLB Pick
- Yankees-Brewers Under 8.5 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook (check our Caesars Sportsbook Review)
New York Yankees vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Friday, April 26, 2024 – 08:10 PM ET at American Family Field
The AI Model suggests the Yankees and Brewers will only combine for seven runs. However, you can wager on the Under 8.5 at Caesars Sportsbook. That’s a 1.5-run cushion with the total.
Can Luis Gil Settle down for the Yankees?
The Yankees will send out Luis Gil, a righty who has a 2.75 ERA in 19.2 innings. While he’s got 29 strikeouts, he’s also walked 17 batters in those 19.2 innings.
However, his last start against the Rays was his best. Although he walked three batters, Gil struck out nine and allowed only two hits in 5.2 innings. He gave up no runs, which was a step in the right direction. With the Brewers’ projected lineup striking out 26.2% of the time, Gil’s strikeout numbers should be high again.
The Yankees’ Offense Is Quiet
Since last season, only Juan Soto and Aaron Judge have hit a high ISO and wOBA against righties. This year, Judge is off to a slow start and the offense hasn’t really responded.
New York will face Colin Rea of the Brewers tonight. He’s not a high strikeout pitcher, but he’s still limited in damage. Opponents have hit just a .103 ISO and wOBA of .298 against Rea, which is ultimately due to his low walk rate.
The Pick
This should be a major pitching duel between the Yankees and Brewers. The Under is the play. I agree with the AI Model.
