On Friday, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Yankees duke it out in Game 1 of their three-game series at PNC Park.
The Pirates prevented a series sweep as starter Paul Skenes dominated through seven scoreless innings to power his team to a much-needed 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in Thursday’s finale. The win also snapped Pittsburgh's four-game skid, improving their record to 2-5.
The Yankees also denied the Arizona Diamondbacks from completing a sweep, coming through with a gritty 9-7 win on Thursday. Aaron Judge drove four runs, including a three-run blast that made him the third-fastest player in Yankees history to achieve 500 extra-base hits. The Yankees also got a homer each from Tristan Grisham and Jazz Chrisholm Jr., who extended the Yankees lead to 9-3 in the 4th inning.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs New York Yankees Prediction
The OVER is always a hot pick every time the Yankees play. New York’s offense has already generated 44 runs this season while batting .266/.345/.633. Pirates projected starter Mitch Keller allowed four runs in his last start vs. the Yankees in July 2022. I am not expecting Keller to do much against the Bronx Bombers on Friday, especially after New York's big night against the D-Backs. Max Fried, who allowed two earned runs over six innings in his Yankee debut vs. the Brewers, has put up strong numbers in his last three starts vs. the Pirates, including a game where he allowed only a single run over six innings. In their last three meetings, the Yankees and Pirates averaged 9.67 runs and 12.0 hits per game. The total for Friday’s ball game has been set at 8.00 runs. Our betting prediction for the New York Yankees vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Over 8.0 Runs.
