New York Yankees vs. Philadelphia Phillies. The MLB Pick for this contest is New York. Despite the Phillies showing some strong batting skills, they will have difficulty swinging their bats against the stingy pitching staff of the Yankees.

Pitcher Aroldis Chapman is getting back to his old self in dominating the mound which will give RF Bryce Harper and company a very bad day. Prediction: The New York Yankees will win at 5-2.
