As for Milwaukee, they have a chance to keep things competitive given that the AL East juggernauts, as they have shown, can keep up with the powerhouse during the first game of the series.

Yankees vs Brewers expert picks and game prediction

The Bombers have had complete control of the series so far. They have outscored the Brewers 24-11 through two games. However, the outlier result of game two should be taken with a grain of salt as it can be chalked up to their familiarity with former pitcher Nestor Cortes and his mechanics on the ball.

Marcus Stroman would start for the Yanks and in eight appearances against the Brewers, he has compiled a quite impressive 3-1 record along with a 3.10 ERA. In contrast, Brewers starter Aaron Civale has a 1-4 record with a 5.52 ERA in six appearances against New York.

As proven by the predicted run line, the game is slated to be a close contest between the two squads as both try to end the series on a high note.

Run Line: -1.5, +143

Total Runs: Under 8.5, -115

Prediction: NYY W, 5-3
