Battle on the Mound: Berríos holds the edge with a deeper track record, but Warren has shown flashes of promise. The Yankees’ bullpen and late-game offense may tilt things.
Game Flow: Expect a tight game early, but New York’s lineup should shine through late. Judge, Bellinger, and company will produce just enough.
My Pick: Yankees win 5–3 — a balanced contest with both starters keeping it-low, but NYC’s bats make the difference.
