Prediction published on 7/30/24, 3:55 PM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 7/30/24 at 3:59 PM in MLB Picks

Winners of three games in a row, the New York Yankees will try to keep their winning form going as they head into Game 2 of their series with the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday.The big bats have come alive for the Yankees over the last three games, as Aaron Judge steered the Bronx Bombers’ 14-run barrage against one of the best pitching ball clubs this season, the Phillies. Monday’s 14-4 win over Philadelphia gives the Yankees its third straight win four of their last seven games. This mini-streak has also allowed New York to cut down the Orioles’ lead to 0.5 games as the race for the top spot in the AL East heats up. Meanwhile, the Phillies have dropped four of their last five games, though the top team in the NL East still holds a commanding 8.5 games lead over the closest trailer Atlanta Braves. Pitching inconsistency has been a major concern for Philadelphia recently as they have allowed teams to score 5.28 runs over their last five games.
