Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's MLB odds around the Phillies vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Taijuan Walker is slated to take the mound for Philadelphia against Will Warren for New York. The Phillies just concluded a six-game homestand that saw them lose two of three to the Angels and win two of three against the Red Sox. All-Star Kyle Schwarber leads a Philadelphia attack with four home runs since the All-Star Break.

Left-handed hitters have a .282 batting average against Warren, which is ideal for the Phillies with sluggers Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper headlining the order. The former has four home runs in the last week, while the latter has nine hits since play resumed from the All-Star break.
