In this article, we will formulate a Giants vs Yankees prediction for this MLB game on Friday, April 11, at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.
San Francisco Giants Betting Preview
The San Francisco Giants (9-3, 5-1 Away) are experiencing a surprisingly good start to the season. They were on a seven-game winning streak before losing two straight to the Cincinnati Reds without scoring a run in the process. That's the only series the Giants have lost so far, as they beat the Reds and swept the Astros and Mariners. In the most recent extra-inning 8-6 victory over the Reds, Mike Yastrzemski and Wilmer Flores led the team with two RBI apiece, while Justin Verlander pitched for 5.2 innings in a no-decision, allowing six runs (five earned) on five hits with nine strikeouts and three walks. Erik Miller was credited with a win.
This year, the Giants average 4.75 runs per game (11in the MLB) on a .228/.288/.404 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Giants’ staff has a 2.78 ERA (2nd) and 1.17 WHIP (8th). Wilmer Flores leads the Giants with a .273 batting average, five home runs, and 14 RBI this season.
Robbie Ray will take the mound for the Giants on Friday. The 33-year-old southpaw has a 2-0 record in two starts this year with a 3.18 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 11.1 innings of work.
New York Yankees Betting Preview
The New York Yankees (7-5, 4-2 Home) managed to snap a three-game losing skid with a 4-3 win against the Detroit Tigers and avoid being swept. Prior to this series, the Yankees dismantled the Brewers, lost to the Diamondbacks, and beat the Pirates. In the latest victory, Ben Rice and Aaron Judge led the offense with two RBI each, while Max Fried got a win after allowing no runs on five hits with 11 Ks and no walks in 7.0 innings.
This season, the Yankees average 6.83 runs per game (1st in the MLB) on a .265/.346/.509 slash line. Regarding pitching, the Yankees’ staff has a 4.44 ERA (22nd) and 1.23 WHIP (13th). Aaron Judge leads the Yankees with a .354 batting average, six home runs, and 20 RBI this season.
The projected starting pitcher for the Yankees is Marcus Stroman, who has a 0-0 record in two starts this year with a 7.27 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 8.2 innings.

Giants vs Yankees Prediction
The Yankees dominated this fixture in recent years as they won nine of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last four. The Yankees have a .282 BA against southpaws this season with 14 homers in 195 at-bats. Robbie Ray should be aware of Aaron Judge, who blasted three homers and has five RBI in eight at-bats against him. Judge is the player to watch here. I expect Marcus Stroman to bounce back from a couple of bad starts, but I don't expect him to suddenly shut the Giants down. Seven of the last ten H2Hs went Over. I am backing Over here as well.
