After Ronald Acuña's incredible performance in Game 1 of the Braves-Yankees series, where in addition to an epic shot from right field to third, the Venezuelan also hit a triple and the Braves won 7-3, the Yankees earned an absolutely crucial victory in Game 2 of the series, winning 12-9.

The Yankees took the game they had also started as slight favorites in the betting world, and anyone who had their money on the Yankees must have written it off when the Braves led 5-0 in the 4th inning. However, the Yankees rallied thanks to a key home run by Volpe, who hit two in the game, and a grand slam by Grisham in the 9th inning that turned the score around.

Ultimately, Yankees closer Luke Weaver, getting five scoreless outs, did what Braves closer Raisel Iglesias couldn't, earning his sixth RBI of the season by allowing Grisham's grand slam.

Our New York Yankees vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

Stroman will pitch for the Yankees in Game 3; he's only started three games this season with decent and consistent results, pitching exactly five innings in starts against the Athletics, Mets, and Mariners, albeit with a low strikeout rate. Holmes will take the ball after being hit a lot by the Cardinals, who committed five ERs in a start where he recorded only nine outs and struck out just one. Given the injuries in the Braves' starting rotation, Holmes will pitch no matter what on Sunday; his record is 4-8 with a 3.77 ERA. Our prediction for Yankees vs Braves is: Over 9.5 runs.
