Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Yankees Prediction: An offensive approach is expected here

Citizens Bank Park will host the MLB between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees. This will be the opener of a three-game series. Which team draws the first blood?

The Philadelphia Phillies are coming off a series against the Cleveland Guardians. In that series, the Philadelphia Phillies suffered a defeat, losing two of the series, while they secured an 8-0 win in game 2. However, they scored more runs, 12 in that series, while conceding 6. Heading into this series, the Philadelphia Phillies have lost their last four series, losing to the Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics, and Pittsburgh Pirates in other encounters. 

The New York Yankees are coming off a series against the Boston Red Sox. In that series, they suffered a defeat in the opener, a game that ended 9-7. However, other games in that series saw the New York Yankees win 8-11 and 2-8. In the meantime, the prior series to that win saw the New York Yankees lose to the New York Mets and Tampa Bay Rays. Heading into this series, the New York Yankees have a 62-45 record, leaving them seated 3rd in the American League standings. 

The two teams have been very good this season and will come here with confidence. While the two teams are playing at a high level, they also have players of top quality who can win this game for them. While the Philadelphia Phillies are at hope and come into this one as favorites, I expect them to begin the series with a win.
