The Yankees are feeling the pressure from the Red Sox for second place in the AL East, but Aaron Boone's squad is beating the Braves, taking the first two games of their series in the Bronx. The Yankees are favored at -140 odds to take the next game as well.
Atlanta arrived at Yankee Stadium with the second-best record in MLB. On Friday, they took the lead with solo home runs from Riley and Olson. The Braves were leading 2-0 in the bottom of the ninth; closer Iglesia failed to hold the lead, and a double by Wells and an RBI single by Rice tied the game. In the bottom of the tenth, McMahon hit a sacrifice fly to bring in the winning run.
Saturday's game featured a duel between two veteran aces: Sale for the Braves and Cole for the Yankees. The Yankees' young players stood out in the game. Jones had a good performance, going 3-for-2, and Lombard hit his second home run. This allowed him to maintain a dream start to his major league career, quickly winning over the fans and securing his place as the team's starting shortstop. The Yankees won Saturday's game 5-4.

Our New York Yankees vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
Late in Saturday's game, Rice hit a key home run that provided insurance and restored the lead that Acuña had cut an inning earlier with a solo home run. The Venezuelan star of Atlanta has hit five home runs since returning from the injured list, but on Saturday he went 1-for-4, and no Braves player had a multi-hit game that day.
To make matters even more compelling, the odds of the Yankees completing the sweep are increasing, as right-hander Cam Schlittler will be pitching for the Yankees in the most open Cy Young race in years, making a strong case for winning the award this year. Despite allowing four ER in his first start in August, his ERA remains at 2.26, and he has struck out 171 in 139.2 innings pitched this year.
Our prediction for the Yankees vs Braves is: Yankees ML.
