Final Giants-Yankees Prediction & Pick
The Giants have the pitching advantage in this game. They have won both games with Jordan Hicks on the mound while the Yankees have lost both games with Will Warren on the mound this year. Hicks has given up just ten baserunners this year in 11.1 innings while giving up just three runs. Will Warren has given up 12 baserunners in nine innings while giving up six runs. The current members of the Giants have not faced Will Warren, but the Yankees have faced Jordan Hicks. They have had some success, hitting .250 with three home runs. Still, most of the success comes from Aaron Judge who is two for six with two home runs and four RBIs. If Jordan Hicks pitches around Judge, there is a good chance he can control the game. The Giants have a solid bullpen, which should get them the win.
