ANDREW’S FREE PICK

I’ll probably stay with the Yankees here. Probably also not touching it, though. Schmidt hasn’t been too bad on the mound lately, posting six earned over 17.0 innings in his last three starts combined. Schmidt is just 0-1 in that time, though. As for Manning, he’s doing well himself with just one earned in his last 18.1 innings of work. I would expect this one to be a fairly low-scoring matchup, at least initially. On Tuesday New York’s pitching had things on lockdown for most of the game, and the offense was great as well. That makes 22 runs in the last four games combined. The Yankees have now won four straight games and six of their last seven. I like them to keep it going.
