We will see two premier arms on the mound tonight.
Sonny Gray will get the nod for the Cardinals. Gray has posted strong numbers against this Yankees lineup, holding them to a .221 batting average in 68 at-bats.
Max Fried will toe the rubber for the Yankees. Fried sports an ERA of 2.94, ranking 14th in the MLB.
The southpaw has struggled in his last four starts but is in a strong position to bounce back tonight.
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Aaron Judge +2 Total Bases” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/nyyd.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/new-york-yankees” link1follow=”false”][/subheader]
The former MVP draws a favorable matchup.
Judge has collected three hits in nine career at-bats against Gray.
I expect Judge to continue his success against Gray tonight.
