ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll stick with the Yankees. Probably not touching it, though. New York gets an immediate boost with Cole being on the mound here. Over his last three starts Cole is 1-0 with just three earned runs in 20.0 innings. As for Berrios, he’s been pretty good lately as well with six earned over his last 19.2 innings—with four of those coming in 5.2 innings versus the Yankees in his last start. In the Tuesday matchup New York kept the Blue Jays at bay with a nice performance from starter Kevin Gausman. Cole should keep things manageable as well, which bodes very well for the Yankees.
