Starting Pitchers
The Yankees will send left-hander Carlos Rodón to the mound. Rodón, who posted a 16-9 record with a 3.96 ERA in 32 starts during the 2024 season, has had a mixed performance in Spring Training, recording a 5.40 ERA over 10 innings.
The Brewers will counter with right-hander Freddy Peralta. Peralta finished the 2024 season with an 11-9 record and a 3.68 ERA in 32 starts. His Spring Training was less stellar, with an 8.56 ERA over 13.2 innings.
Yankees Lineup and Offseason Move
The Yankees underwent significant roster changes in the offseason. Notably, they acquired first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and outfielder Cody Bellinger to bolster their lineup. Bellinger is expected to start in center field, while Aaron Judge moves to right field. Catcher Austin Wells is set to make history as the first catcher to lead off for the Yankees on Opening Day.
The pitching rotation has also seen adjustments due to injuries. Ace Gerrit Cole is sidelined following Tommy John surgery, and Luis Gil is also on the injured list. As a result, the rotation features Rodón, Max Fried, Marcus Stroman, Will Warren, and Carlos Carrasco. Devin Williams, acquired from the Brewers, will serve as the closer.
Brewers Lineup and Offseason Moves
The Brewers have experienced notable changes, particularly in their infield. With the departure of shortstop Willy Adames to the San Francisco Giants, Joey Ortiz is expected to take over at shortstop. Vinny Capra and Oliver Dunn are anticipated to share duties at third base.
Brewers vs. Yankees MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Neither of these pitchers inspired much confidence this spring. Peralta was ripped by the Diamondbacks in his final tune-up for the regular season, while Rodon was merely fine. I like the over 8 runs at Bovada.lv in this one.
