Chicago Cubs vs New York Yankees Prediction

The Yankees should get the benefit of the doubt at home, but Warren just isn’t a pitcher I’m excited to back, with his 4.70 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. Warren has also waked 10 batters in his last 14.2 innings. Imanaga hasn’t picked a lot this season, but he’s been one of the best pitchers in baseball when he has, which includes a 2.80 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. In 33.2 road innings, Imanaga has a 1.34 ERA and .189 allowed batting average. The Cubs can hit with the Yankees, and they have a strong edge on the mound. Give me the road team on Sunday afternoon.
