Top Phillies vs. Yankees predictions
After 10,000 simulations of Yankees vs. Phillies, the model is going Over 8 total runs. The Over is 5-3 over these teams' last eight meetings, and the total has also been eclipsed in 11 of Warren's 19 starts (58%). Speaking of the Yankees pitcher, the situational splits aren't in his favor for Sunday Night Baseball. His ERA in night games (5.40) is twice as high as day games (2.57), and he's also allowing a .276 average on the road, compared to .249 at home.
As for Sanchez, it's been a rough month-plus for him. He has a 5.86 ERA and has given up 18 ER over his last five starts, compared to a 1.80 ERA and 21 ER allowed over his first 16 starts. That doesn't even include the All-Star Game where he got the start but took the loss after getting lit up for 3 ER in 1 IP. Given the trends and both pitchers' struggles, the model projects 9.0 combined runs, making the Over a strong pick in over/under sports betting.
