Why the Yankees Will Beat the Pirates

  • The Pirates have lost each of their last eight night games against AL East opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Yankees have won each of their last six Friday games.
  • The Pirates have failed to cover the run line each of their last eight night games against AL East opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Yankees have covered the run line in each of their last three games against teams that held a losing record.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs New York Yankees Prediction

The Yankees offense is going to put on a show here. Jared Jones hasn’t been great for the Pirates and in his last start he gave up six hits and six runs. The Yankees bats are going to be hot on him early, and that is going to be the difference here as the Yankees are going to end up cruising to the victory. The Pirates are going to struggle to put up two runs. Back the Yankees on the run line.
