Following a Friday loss, the Yankees<\/a> aim to bounce back and level the series in Milwaukee<\/a> tonight.<\/p>\n

This evening\u2019s contest features Cam Schlittler<\/a> taking on Kyle Harrison<\/a>, a pitching duel where New York holds a nice advantage.<\/p>\n

Read all about it in my Brewers<\/a> vs. Yankees predictions and MLB picks<\/a> for Saturday, May 9.<\/p>\n

Who will win Yankees vs Brewers today: Yankees moneyline (-135)<\/p>\n

Cam Schlittler<\/a>‘s started the season at an elite level and has remained consistent. He\u2019s as good as any pitcher in baseball this year, and he has a matchup edge here. I\u2019d play the Yankees to -170 because of it.<\/p>\n

His fastball run value ranks in the 100th percentile of the sport, and his 96th percentile chase rate of just over 38% gives him an elite out-of-zone weapon against a Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> lineup that must be disciplined to survive him.<\/p>\n

The Brew Crew simply doesn\u2019t have the profile of a team that\u2019s going to hurt a guy with a lot of swing-and-miss stuff.<\/p>\n

On the other side of things, Kyle Harrison<\/a> is a talented pitcher, but his Bottom 24 percentile off-speed stuff may give him issues.<\/p>\n

This feels like a scenario where a pitcher getting off his fastball (which the Yankees force) is more detrimental than actually throwing the pitch. We\u2019ve seen it a few times this season, though, and it usually works out for New York.<\/p>\n

\"Covers\"<\/p>\n

Covers<\/p>\n

COVERS INTEL:<\/p>\n

Cam Schlitter\u2019s has the highest overall run value<\/a> for a starting pitcher in baseball.<\/p>\n

Yankees vs Brewers Over\/Under pick: Under 7.5 (-115)<\/p>\n

The story of the total is Schlittler, as you might expect. The Under has cashed in three of the last four starts.<\/p>\n

Although I picked the New York Yankees<\/a> to win,\u00a0I don’t think their offense will do enough to push this Over on its own.<\/p>\n

Harrison will have some issues in this matchup, but his hard-hit suppression (88th percentile) and barrel rate (73rd percentile) should keep the Yankees offense in check. I\u2019d play this to -120.<\/p>\n
