Key Stats
New York Yankees
The New York Yankees are swinging the bats at an elite rate as they are best in the sport with a .792 team OPS while scoring 5.21 runs per game. The team does not chase too many pitches either as they also lead baseball with 382 combined walks. Right fielder Aaron Judge is continuing to dominate as he has a .353/.459/.722 slash line with 35 home runs, 81 RBI, 87 runs scored, and six stolen bases on nine attempts.
Veteran right-hander Marcus Stroman is going to be taking the mound for the New York Yankees for Sunday’s game and is struggling thus far as he is 1-1 with a 6.66 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP in 24.1 innings of work. One positive has been his ability to limit homers as he allowed four or fewer than one every six innings. Stroman faced the Braves once last season in a victory as he allowed three runs on three hits with two walks and six strikeouts in 6.2 innings.
Atlanta Braves
The Atlanta Braves have been hitting at a mediocre level up to this point as they are tied with the Minnesota Twins for 19th with a .244/.317/.391 team slash line while averaging 4.15 runs per game. Atlanta has been struggling to swipe bases as they are tied with the San Francisco Giants for 27th place with 45 steals while being caught 13 times. Right fielder Ronald Acuna has been hitting at an incredible level since returning from his ACL injury, as he has a 1.031 OPS with 12 homers, 23 RBI, 42 runs scored, and four steals without being caught.
The Atlanta Braves are sending righty Grant Holmes to the hill and pitched at a good level thus far as in his 20 games (19 starts), he is 4-8 with a 3.77 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP in 105.0 innings of work. He has been able to get outs consistently as he has .227 opposing batting average up to this point.

Prediction
These teams just scored a combined 21 runs on Saturday so these offenses are on fire and this is a day game following a night game. During the month of July, neither team is pitching well as Atlanta is 23rd with a 4.99 team ERA in 14 games while New York is dead last with a 6.62 team ERA in their 14 games. All in all, expect runs to score in bunches so take the over to hit.
