The Yankees come in with stronger recent form and a more consistent starter in Carlos Rodón, who has looked sharp at home. While Musgrove has struggled with command and ERA this season, the Yankees’ offense should be able to apply pressure early. Expect a low-to-mid scoring game with the Yankees taking a narrow win.
