Pittsburgh Pirates at New York Yankees Prediction

Heading into Wednesday’s matchup between Pittsburgh and New York, the Yankees are the heavy favorite on the moneyline. Even though Roansy Contreras has been pitching well for the Pirates, he is facing a tough New York lineup and hasn’t been working deep into games. I like the Yankees on the runline.
