New York is the top team in the majors as they have terrific pitching and a dangerous lineup that can do damage in a hurry. In this case, the Yankees had a day to stew about their 2-0 shutout loss at the hands of the Guardians Sunday, giving them extra time to prepare for this contest. Jameson Taillon gets a chance to face his former team in his old home park here and he's been good this season. He's 9-1 on the year with a 3.32 ERA and the Yankees have won his last seven starts coming into this contest. Pittsburgh has had their issues putting runs on the board, especially for Quintana. He's 0-3 in his last nine starts and the team has dropped six of his last eight appearances in that stretch. It's going to be tough sledding keeping the Yankees' bats in check and the Pirates can't hang with that kind of offensive production. Look for the Yankees to cover the run line as they win in one-sided fashion.
