The New York Yankees take their four-game win streak into a new series with the Chicago Cubs on Friday at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees have completed a sweep of the Seattle Mariners to push their win streak to four games. New York (52-41) is still two games behind the new AL East leaders, the Toronto Blue Jays (54-39), but they have an opportunity to recapture the No.1 spot in their division if they earn strong results against the skidding Cubs over the weekend.
The Cubs (55-38) are now just two games ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers (52-41) after winning only two of their last five games. Chicago’s offense continues to produce solid numbers at 5.7 runs per game over the last five games. However, the Cubs have been erratic on the mound, posting a dismal 4.40 ERA in their last five.

Our New York Yankees vs Chicago Cubs Prediction
Why should you pick the OVER 9.0 Runs? Two high-powered offenses will collide, with the Yankees and the Cubs ready to unleash the full extent of their arsenal on Friday. The Cubs and Yankees only combined for an average of 2.67 runs in three inter-conference games last season. But with both teams averaging at least 5.0 runs per game this season, an explosive series opener will likely erupt at Yankee Stadium. Cubs starter Chris Flexen is flexing a 3.16 ERA in his last five starts, but he surrendered 7 earned runs the last time he pitched against the Yankees. As for Carlos Radon, the Yankees starter conceded six earned runs in his latest mound appearance against the Mets on July 5. Rodon is sporting a 4.67 ERA in his last five starts, far from being unhittable.
Our betting prediction for the New York Yankees vs. the Chicago Cubs: Over 9.0 Runs.
