MILWAUKEE (Interstat) — The New York Yankees, owners of the best record in the majors at 26-12, visit American Family Field on Saturday to face the Milwaukee Brewers (19-16) in the second game of a three-game series. First pitch is scheduled under cloudy skies and 58 degrees.

The Yankees, coming off a 9-2 win over Texas on Thursday, will start right-hander Cam Schlittler (5-1). The Brewers counter with right-hander Brandon Sproat (2-3, 3.38 ERA), who threw four scoreless innings in a 6-2 win at St. Louis on Wednesday.

New York has won four of its last five games, averaging 9.6 runs over that span. Trent Grisham is a player to watch for the Yankees. The center fielder is batting .225 over his last 10 games but has driven in seven runs in that stretch, including a 3-for-5, three-RBI performance Thursday. For Milwaukee, Sproat has been effective in two of his last three starts, allowing one earned run over 10⅔ innings in wins against Toronto and St. Louis.

The Brewers blanked New York 5-0 on Friday behind strong pitching. New York aims to rebound and maintain its lead in the American League East, while Milwaukee tries to build on its recent 6-2 victory at St. Louis.

The simulation model from Interstat projects a 7-5 Yankees victory. New York is a -1.5 favorite on the run line, with the over/under set at 7.5 total runs.

After Saturday’s game, the teams meet again Sunday before the Yankees head to Baltimore for a three-game series. The Brewers will host San Diego next week.
