San Francisco Giants vs New York Yankees Predictions 3/30/2023
Anticipation is mounting in the Big Apple as the Yankees gear up for another season with high expectations. The club fell short of their ultimate goal in 2022, putting up a lackluster performance in the ALCS against Houston.
Nevertheless, the team has brought back their biggest star in Aaron Judge and made some impressive additions to their pitching staff.
While the Yankees are usually a reliable pick straight up, their performance on the run line was less impressive last year with a record of just 73-89. However, fans and analysts alike are hopeful that the team can turn things around and improve their record in 2023.
Ace Gerrit Cole is set to make his fourth consecutive opening-day start for the Yankees, having gone 1-0 with two no-decisions in his previous three. In his career, he boasts a solid 5-1 record with a 3.15 ERA in seven starts against the Giants.
Last season, Cole put up a 13-8 record with a 3.50 ERA overall and went 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in five April starts, helping the team to a 4-1 record.
The right-hander led the Majors in strikeouts with an impressive 252, marking the second time he has accomplished the feat.
The Yankees’ bullpen, which posted a stellar 2.97 ERA last year, has been further bolstered with the addition of closer Clay Holmes, who saved 20 games in 2022.
With most of the key arms returning to the mix, the bullpen looks to be a formidable force for New York.
- The total stayed UNDER in 6 of NY Yankees’ last 9 games against the Giants.
- The New York Yankees are 11-5 SU in their last 16 games at home.
- The total remained UNDER in 5 of the NY Yankees’ last 5 games at home against San Francisco.
San Francisco Giants vs New York Yankees. The MLB pick for this game is the New York Yankees.
With a history of solid performances on opening day, all signs point to Gerrit Cole having a strong start for the Yankees against the Giants.
Additionally, Giancarlo Stanton is looking healthy and poised to do damage against San Francisco once again.
Throughout his career, Stanton has racked up an impressive 56 hits, including 17 home runs, and boasts an impressive .322 batting average and .718 slugging percentage against the Giants.
With Stanton’s hot bat in the mix, it’s likely that the Yankees will generate plenty of run support for Cole and win predicted at 7-5.
