Brewers vs. Yankees Probable Pitchers

Milwaukee: Nestor Cortes, LHP
New York: Max Fried, LHP

Brewers vs. Yankees Key Player to Watch in Prop Market

Nestor Cortes: Nestor Cortes, in just the second game of the season, is set to face his former team. He spent five of the past six seasons as a member of the Yankees, so if any lineup is going to know how to handle his pitches, it's New York. Consider betting the OVER on his walks prop on Saturday afternoon. The Yankees had a 12.2% walk rate against lefties last season, 1.9% higher than any other lineup in the Majors. Of course, their lineup isn't exactly the same as it was last year, but that's enough for me to look to fade Cortes against his former team.

Brewers vs. Yankees Prediction and Pick

I find it hard not to back the Yankees here. I have major concerns about Cortes of the Brewers returning to face his former team. Usually, in these cases where a pitcher faces his former team, the advantage goes to the batters who know the pitcher well.

Cortes isn't the only new acquisition that's set to make his debut with a new team. Max Fried will also be making his first start as a Yankee, and he may be one of the most underrated pitchers heading into this season. He had a "down year" in 2024, but he still posted a 3.25 ERA.

With Fried making his first start in the pinstripes and New York set to face a pitcher they're familiar with, I'll back the Yankees to improve to 2-0 to start the season.
