Yankees vs. Cubs NRFI/YRFI prediction today
The Yankees have one of the best lineups in MLB. And that’s especially true for the top of the order. Cubs starter Jordan Wicks has a NRFI record of 6-1, but that’s a small sample size. Facing Juan Soto and Aaron Judge in the first inning is a test for any pitcher. Luis Gil should be able to take care of Chicago in the first inning but look for a run in the first inning.
