The San Francisco Giants host the New York Yankees in MLB action today.<\/p>\n

New York took the season-opener with a 7-0 shutout on Wednesday night, and my Yankees vs. Giants predictions expect the visitors to win again.<\/p>\n

Here are my best free\u00a0MLB picks<\/a> for March 27.<\/p>\n

Yankees vs Giants predictionsYankees vs Giants best bet: Yankees moneyline (-130)<\/p>\n

The San Francisco Giants<\/a> have a potent lineup featuring Rafael Devers<\/a> and Willy Adames<\/a>. That said, they’re still not on the same level as the New York Yankees<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Yankees had the most productive offense in the majors last year, and that lineup returns intact. They’ll light up Robbie Ray<\/a>, who is coming off a solid season but had worrying underlying metrics.\u00a0Ray was in the Bottom 10th percentile in average exit velocity, and the bottom 20th percentile in hard-hit rate.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Yankees hurler Cam Schlittler<\/a> should build on an impressive rookie campaign by mixing in more breaking pitches.<\/p>\n

COVERS INTEL:<\/p>\n

The Yankees led the majors in barrel rate, hard-hit rate, and exit velocity last year. Ray was in the Bottom 26th percentile in all three categories.<\/p>\n

Yankees vs Giants same-game parlay (SGP)<\/p>\n

Schlittler fanned 11 batters in 9 2\/3 frames during spring training. He averages 98 mph on his four-seamer and sinker, with his cutter now at 94.7 mph \u00a0\u2014 nearly 3 mph higher than last year. He averaged 10.4 K\/9 last season and will be even more overpowering in 2026.<\/p>\n

Aaron Judge<\/a> is the best hitter in the world, and over the last two years, he’s posted an incredible .457 OBP while plating 259 runs in 310 games.<\/p>\n

Not only does Ray give up too much hard contact, but San Fran’s bullpen sits near the bottom of the majors in most preseason rankings. This could be a game where the Yankees win by multiple runs, especially if Judge and Schlittler play well.<\/p>\n

Yankees vs Giants SGP<\/p>\n

Cam Schlittler Over 4.5 strikeouts<\/p>\n

Aaron Judge Over 0.5 runs<\/p>\n

Yankees vs Giants home run pick: Aaron Judge (+240)<\/p>\n

Judge went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts on opening night. That said, the three-time AL MVP is a proven slugger who has mashed more than 50 dingers in three of the last four seasons.<\/p>\n

He should bounce back and this is a great matchup for him. Judge has jacked three dingers in four career games at Oracle Park. The towering right-hander also has the platoon advantage against Ray and has gone 3-for-8 with three homers in his career against him.<\/p>\n
