Prediction
These teams are going to be playoff teams, but two veteran pitchers should be able to limit the amount of runs scored against them. Jack Flaherty and Carlos Rodon should be able to silence the bats. It also helps that these teams scored a combined four runs if the seventh inning meltdown by the Yankees bullpen is taken out. I know you can’t take it away, but these pitching staffs looked better than the lineups. All in all, go with the under.
