BRAVES VS YANKEES PREDICTION

The Yankees have been playing ridiculous, in a bad way, to start the season. The starting pitching has been terrible but the offense has been worse. This Yankee team was swept by the Rays over the weekend and had to watch the media bash them several days straight. These Braves aren’t exactly playing great baseball either and there is a chance Ozzie Albies and Acuna Jr will be out with injuries but you will want to confirm the starting lineups for this game. Look for the Yankees bats to wake up today with the warm weather and the wind blowing out. Double-check the weather and starting lineups before placing your final wagers on this game but expect the line to also go up after these are confirmed. Look for the Yankee’s offense to fire up against a familiar pitcher, Charlie Morton.
