Atlanta Braves vs New York Yankees Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 7/19/25, 4:05 PM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 1/13/26 at 9:28 AM in MLB Picks

The New York Yankees picked up where they left off before the break with a 7-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves Friday night, extending their losing streak to three in a row. They’ll try to turn things around when they face off with the Braves at Truist Park for the second game of the weekend series. The action is set to get underway at 7:15 p.m. EST.

Atlanta appears to be taking a bullpen approach to today’s game. Joey Wentz is set to start the day, making just his second appearance for the Braves since being acquired from the Twins before the break. In his one appearance, he made a great first impression, pitching three shutout innings while walking one and striking out six. However, he has a 6.32 ERA, 1.70 WHIP, and a .280 WHIP. Will Warren will get the nod from the Yankees. Warren has gone 6-5 in 20 starts with a 4.63 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and .247 OBA. However, he has not had his good stuff on the road. In ten road starts, he is 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA and .292 OBA. Six of his starts lasted less than five innings; he gave up ten hits and eight runs in four innings during his last road start (vs. Toronto, July 2).
