The New York Yankees (5-2, 1-0 away) will try to keep the good times rolling today when they take on the Pittsburgh Pirates (2-6, 0-1 at home) at PNC Park in the second game of a three-game series. New York won Game 1 on Friday. Max Fried threw 5 2/3 innings for the Yankees, giving up six hits and one earned run. Pirates opener Mitch Keller was chased after 3 2/3 innings, giving up eight hits and seven runs. Aaron Judge continued his torrid start to the season with a two-run bomb in the seventh inning that made the score 9-1, New York. The Pirates added three runs at the bottom of the inning to make the final 9-4.
New York is starting right-hander Marcus Stroman today. Stroman had a rough time in his first start of the season (vs. Brewers, March 30). He only lasted 4 2/3 innings after giving up five hits, three earned runs, and a home run. In 80 at-bats vs. Stroman, Pirates hitters have hit .338 with just one home run and 12 strikeouts. Pittsburgh starter Bailey Falter did not factor into the decision in his first start. He gave up seven hits and two runs over six innings to the Marlins (March 29). The Pirates ended up losing the game in extra innings, 5-4 in 12 innings.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs New York Yankees Prediction
It is hard to bet against the Yankees with how they are hitting these days. Maybe against a better team than the Pirates, an argument could be made against them, but with Pittsburgh struggling to start the season, the Yankees are the only bet. However, with Marcus Stroman’s history vs. Pirates players and his poor outing in his first start, the better bet may be the total.
