New York is 4-0 in their last 4 games and 37-18 in their last 55 game one’s of a series. The under is 5-1 in New York’s last 6 Friday games. Milwaukee is 6-0 in their last 6 interleague home games and 0-5 in their last 5 Friday games. The under is 5-2 in Milwaukee’s last 7 home games. The over is 4-0 in these two teams last 4 head to head meetings in Milwaukee.
The Brewers come into this series a couple of games out of a wild card spot and need to win every series going forward. Milwaukee will turn to Adrian Houser, who has allowed two earned runs in his last 13 innings pitched. For the Yankees, Frankie Montas has allowed eight runs over his last 16.2 innings pitched. Montas hasn’t been great for New York this season, but Houser has been pretty bad for the Brewers. I am taking the Yankees here.
