Last night, the Yankees beat up on a pitcher who gives up plenty of hard contact. The Marlins are trotting out another arm with a similar profile today… and we don’t see the outcome being any different.<\/p>\n

The New York Yankees and Miami Marlins get game two of a three-game set going tonight, with the situation looking very similar to yesterday.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the Bronx Bombers took advantage of a Marlins pitcher who struggles with giving up hard contact… and my\u00a0Marlins vs. Yankees predictions today see things playing out similarly.<\/p>\n

See why my MLB picks<\/a> for Saturday, April 4, lean towards the Yankees winning (and runs being scored) in the Bronx.<\/p>\n

Who will win Marlins vs Yankees today: Yankees -1.5 (+115)<\/p>\n

Many elements from yesterday\u2019s matchup carry over today. Max Meyer<\/a>\u2019s average exit velocity last season was among the worst for qualified starters, which is a big problem when you\u2019re headed to Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

I think we will see the Yankees<\/a> target this yet again, using the dimensional advantages of their home stadium to their benefit (looking towards those short porches down the lines), with Ben Rice, Giancarlo Stanton<\/a>, and Cody Bellinger all starting the year strong \u2014 plus Aaron Judge<\/a> showing signs of life with his first multi-hit game (and his third homer of the year) in the home opener yesterday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After an 8-2 win in the series opener, the Yankees’ lineup has momentum and a clear matchup edge.<\/p>\n

I was perplexed when I projected this total at just 8.8 until I saw it \u2014 a brisk wind blowing in.<\/p>\n

While that will certainly play a part, it\u2019s still not enough to get me off this Over: The Yankees have already illustrated enough diversity at the plate to suggest they can score plenty of runs with hard-contact rather than relying on the home run.<\/p>\n

On the other side, we\u2019ve yet to mention Ryan Weathers<\/a> on the mound for New York. He should be better than Meyer, but he\u2019s still exploitable and struggled during Spring Training.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think the Marlins<\/a> will need to do much to push this Over either, as I expect the Yankee bats to do some heavy lifting yet again.<\/p>\n
